Now page updates
Today I updated my now page. These updates include:
- Reworked my “What I’m listening” section a little bit and added two Album Whale lists instead of all links to songs and albums I’m listening
- Added a new “What I’m visiting” section for concerts, art exhibitions and sport events
- Updated my “What I’m watching” section a little bit
Some live status features are still missing, but I like the updates so far.
