Now

Oct 9, 2021

This page describes what I’m up to now. It is a written version of what I would say that I am doing if we met and you asked me what I am up. This page was inspired by Derek Siver’s now page movement. It is accurate as of April 2023.

Right now, I’m parenting, teaching, learning, and playing.

Parenting
- We’re expecting another baby in early August.
  - We don’t know the gender of the new baby.
- Mira continues to grow and amaze me.
  - She is developing friendships through playdates outside daycare.
  - She is very excited for the new baby to arrive.
Teaching
- I am on sabbatical this year 2023/2024 (see: sabbatical notes)
- I am running the UTSC Problem Solving Group and the UTSC Undergraduate Seminar.
- I am not teaching any large classes.
  - Students: If you’re very keen to work with me, then we might consider a reading course or project.
Learning
- I am reading and writing academic articles.
- I am reading a little bit of Esperanto everday.
  - Working my way through the prose section of La Baza Legolisto.
Playing
- I am about string figures with Louisa Bufardeci and Eric Vandendriessche.
- I am finally getting the hang of five ball juggling.
- I am exploring fitness primarily using kettlebells and gymnastics rings at home.
