# Now

What's a [Now page](https://nownownow.com/about)?

_Last updated: March 11, 2026_

Currently unemployed, looking for a new job in web development. In between applying for jobs, I've been volunteering as a maintainer on the website for a humanitarian aid organization, and working on side projects on both web and Mac.

I'm currently building [Groove](https://grooveplayer.app), a music player for iPhone, because I [recently liberated my music collection from streaming](/blog/2026/setting-my-music-free), and I've not been happy with any of the existing options.

## 🎧 Listening

I've been listening to a ton of music for testing out Groove, so I'll instead list some vinyl records I've played recently.

- [Flood - They Might Be Giants](https://www.last.fm/music/They+Might+Be+Giants/Flood)
- [Pagans in Vegas - Metric](https://www.last.fm/music/Metric/Pagans+in+Vegas)
- [1989 - Taylor Swift](https://www.last.fm/music/Taylor+Swift/1989)

## 🎮 Playing

**[Pokemon FireRed](https://www.igdb.com/games/pokemon-firered-version) - Switch**

Been having fun diving back into my childhood with this one. I still consider this the definitive version of the original Pokémon games, and I'm excited to be playing this on a modern console.

**[Baldur's Gate 3](https://www.igdb.com/games/baldurs-gate-iii) - PS5**

Playing a co-op campaign with some friends. We've been playing for a few hours almost weekly. We are currently deep in Act 3.

## 🎲 Rolling

**[Grand Austria Hotel](https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/182874/grand-austria-hotel)**

My favorite heavy game of the moment. I don't own a copy but I've been playing it anytime I get a chance.

**[Knarr](https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/379629/knarr)**

One of my favorite games in my collection, and it gets played more than any other. Read more [here](/blog/2025/knarr-a-pretty-cool-game).

**[CuBirds](https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/245476/cubirds)**

I bring this with me to board gaming sessions alongside Knarr, but it doesn't get played quite as much. Would love to get more plays in.
