Premise
Most sites have an “about” page that doesn’t change much. It’s usually not very interesting, especially for a personal blog like magnus919.com.
A “now” page reminds me a bit of the old .plan file back in the paleo-internet days where finger was everyone’s favorite command-line federated social network platform.
The basic premise of the now page is that it’s very fresh, very current, and it’s more about what is going on in your life right now.

- nownownow might be the most upstream source of the concept. They also have an index of sites with a
/nowpage. - I originally learned of this concept through a Mastodon toot by Lou Plummer.
I updated my /now page with a short review of the book I'm reading (Lit by Mary Karr), a link to a modern classic TV show, a list of the blog posts from this week, a tasty and easy quick Thai supper, and the links I added to my personal bookmarks.
