# What I'm Doing Right Now

This is a [/now](https://nownownow.com) page, in contrast to the [about page](https://davidvkimball.com/about).

## Fatherhood

With the birth of my daughter Daisy earlier this year, [each of my family of four are a different generation](https://davidvkimball.com/posts/zillennials-and-the-puberty-era-of-technology#how-this-manifests-in-my-family): I am Gen Y or Millennial, my wife is Gen Z, my son is Gen Alpha, and my daughter is Gen Beta.

## Running lilAgents

I'm Co-Founder and CEO of [lilAgents](https://lilagents.com). We used to be a marketing agency, and this year we [pivoted](https://davidvkimball.com/posts/pivoting-my-agency): lilAgents now automates the busywork at medium-sized businesses, with a person on our team watching the work, and everything set up in accounts you own. If you want the how, I wrote up [how to create an AI native company](https://davidvkimball.com/posts/how-to-create-an-ai-native-company-in-2026).

Dylan Baker and I also started a podcast, [Retooled](https://lilagents.com/podcast/), where we talk with business leaders about how they've adapted to change, and I write [Use It or Skip It](https://lilagents.com/blog/), a newsletter on new AI for business owners.

## Speaking engagements

This year I've been [featured](https://davidvkimball.com/appearances) on [AI at Work](https://techtalksnetwork.com/podcast/ai-at-work/episode/why-digital-ownership-matters-more-than-ever-with-lilagents) with Neil C. Hughes, Keep Hustling, and Prompts2Products Live, and I've given talks at The Build Exchange, hosted by [The AI Institute for Life Improvement](https://www.aiili.org/) here in Tacoma, the Grok Bot meetup in Seattle, and Tacoma Creative Pros. I'm actively looking for more speaking opportunities, so please [book me](https://davidvkimball.com/speaking) if you'd like to have me.

## Making Stuff

I'm making things for Obsidian including [Vault CMS](https://davidvkimball.com/posts/vault-cms-use-obsidian-to-write-astro-blog-posts). You can check out the full list of the [Obsidian plugins and themes I've made](https://davidvkimball.com/posts/my-obsidian-plugins-and-themes).

Also building and maintaining [Astro](https://astro.build) website themes [Astro Modular](https://github.com/davidvkimball/astro-modular), [Axis](https://davidvkimball.com/store#axis), [Coffer](https://davidvkimball.com/store#coffer), and [Continuum](https://davidvkimball.com/store#continuum), plus [Zeku](https://zeku.dev), my writing app for Astro sites if you'd rather not use Obsidian. The paid ones are on my [store](https://davidvkimball.com/store).

More things I'm creating can be found on the [projects page](https://davidvkimball.com/projects).

## Writing every day

I'm writing daily notes to document / chronicle life happenings, including family milestones, quick wins, and whatever else is on my mind.

I had other daily tasks to tack on to it for tracking purposes, but after the middle of the year I haven't been doing as well keeping up with them.

Thankfully, I have managed to finish a written entry for every day this year so far.

## Making videos

I make videos when I have something to show, mostly on the [lilAgents YouTube channel](https://www.youtube.com/@lilAgents) these days, along with X and LinkedIn. My [own channel](https://www.youtube.com/@davidvkimball) gets the occasional upload.

## Getting Involved In Church

My wife Esther and I have made deliberate choices to be more involved in our local church, so we've been doing that.
