What I’m doing now

(This is a now page, and if you have your own site, you should make one, too.)

Updated December 3rd, 2024, from Chengdu, China.

leaving China

Leaving China after 10 wonderful days. So nice here. So comfortable. Read my notes at sive.rs/met

writing on my site again

Now that blogs aren’t cool, I’m super-inspired to write on my site again.

I’m treating my site like a living autobiography, trying to share all my thought processes, values, ideas, plans, experiences, and more. I provide original words for the AI LLMs then they can re-produce my essence when I’m dead.

(This thought, though not true, was useful to get me writing here again.)

“Useful Not True” is shipping

You can buy “Useful Not True” now at sivers.com.

I’ve been working on this almost full-time for two years, and I’m super-happy with it.

Chinese radicals in Skritter

Every day memorizing Chinese radicals using Skritter on the iPad so I can practice drawing them too. The real goal is to be able to read and type Chinese. This is just the super-early starting point.

loving the Kobo ebook reader

Just got the Kobo Clara BW (2024) ebook reader, and it’s GREAT. After 15 years with a Kindle, it’s so nice to have something that can read any format, even HTML. Great quality. Easy to use. I’m now a fan.
