The "now page" concept comes from an idea by Derek Sivers to have people communicate what they're focused on now at this point in their lives.

Hangeul turns out to be a little weirder than I thought - there are a couple weird rules. However, compared to learning kanji… haha! Not even in the same universe of complexity.

HIS & HERS • 2026 • Parts of this were extremely good. I guess that’s what made the ending even more disappointing, because I did not buy the main character’s reaction to it. **
Formula 1: Drive to Survive • Season 8 review. Once again Drive to Survive is very painful for long- time and knowledgeable Formula One fans. They continue to manufacture story lines that don’t quite exist and they continue to give Christian Horner more attention than that guy deserves. And now they’ve added Flavio Briatore to the attention they don’t deserve category. The last couple of episodes were pretty good though. **
