This is a now page, inspired by Derek Sivers. If you have a blog or website, you might want to consider keeping a now page as well. Here’s how and why to have a now page.

Reading

Happily, my love for reading seems to have been rekindled. This is what I put my reading glasses on for these days:

• „Science of Discworld“ IV by Terry Pratchett et al.
• the September short stories at deadlinesforwriters

Listening

• „Tak“ by Rikke Østergaard on Bookbeat
• Yugen Blakrok
• lots of podcasts including „What’s Her Name?“ by Katie Nelson and Olivia Meikle
• all the concerts that I did not get around to see in Wacken, thanks to Magenta

Watching

• Season 2 of New Doctor Who and loving it
• my various YouTube watchlists with the literally hundreds of videos I used to save „for later“
• Still loving the videos by @hairforhumans. I had a few frustrating experiences myself, so seeing him ask all those thought questions before cutting into peoples hair and giving them what they want not he would prefer is so wholesome 🙂

Now Working On

• converting all the images with maths formulas and equations into katex blocks

\sum_{\mathclap{1\le i\le j\le n}} x_{ij}

• blogging more and more regularly in English
• checking and reparing broken links on my webpage
• trying to magic all my students‘ appointments into a smooth timetable

Now Doing

• watching my ToDo-list melt away while racking up experience points in Habitica
• working on my Long-COVID fatigue by gradually improving my fitness level so I can one day, maybe, go runnning again.
• hoping the last of the tomatoes will turn red by themselves in the last of the Septeber sun
• upping up my French lessons on Duolingo to be able to follow this fascinating youtube channel called Mathémusique
