Now

(This is a now page, inspired by Derek Sivers’ now page.)

I live in Durham, NC, now retired as a contract software technical writer for a federal agency.

  • Busy working with my neighbors on Bull City Commons, a cohousing community that we self-developed and self-manage. I write and maintain the Bull City Commons Blog.
  • For January to March, reading or re-reading only books I already own. The one I am enjoying the most is Rob Shearman’s 3-volume short story collection We All Hear Stories in the Dark.
  • Getting my physical body back in shape with fitness classes, physical therapy, sleep, eating, walking the neighborhood, etc.
  • Creative projects: none at the moment.

I can be contacted at brownstudy+microblog at the domain gmail.com.
