Got some preliminary work done so that handwritten posts are posted by my new “app” Amanuensis using micropub. Soon I hope to be able to visually credit the app on my posts’ metadata.

I finished up the last of the September apples tonight. 🍏
@wiobyrne, @AllossoDan has also been using it in his teaching. If you’re curious to see a use case applicable to the classroom, you might appreciate joining/watching an upcoming “book club” he’s doing w/ Obsidian over the holiday break: https://danallosso.substack.com/p/obsidian-book-club-the-dawn-of-everything.
My antilibrary grows exponentially while my reading pace is linear at best. Still I manage to extract a lot out of building my antilibrary.
@UCLAExtension I know a follow up course to the first half of Differential Topology is being offered for Winter 2022, but it doesn’t seem to be on the site yet to register. Can someone fix this?

Jeremy Strong’s rebranding of the idea of commonplacing in commonplace books as “hymns” isn’t as on-brand as Eminem’s calling it “stacking ammo“.
I’ve downloaded my copy of The Dawn of Everything by David Graeber and David Wengrow for Dan Allosso’s forthcoming Obsidian-based book club. https://danallosso.substack.com/p/obsidian-book-club-the-dawn-of-everything
Curious to see how these tools can be communally used for collaborative note taking, knowledge creation, and discussion.
For the REAL @RoamResearch fans. #RoamCult
This week’s #FragmentFriday is the binding of LJS 497, a bifolium from a 12th-century copy of Augustine’s In Iohannis evangelium tractatus. The codex is an early 16th century treatise on the use of the astrolabe, both written in southern Italy

Ok zettelkasten fans. Unless someone can come up with an earlier source, the inventor of the zettelkasten method for excerpting and note taking is Konrad Gessner in 1548. (Again it’s not Niklas Luhmann!)
More details to come on this fun bit of history soon.
People treat corporations like people so that corporations can treat people like robots.
@flancian since @an_agora has this sort of functionality, I’m curious what you call this pattern? https://indieweb.org/tag_aggregation
Since I can post to my website by pen and paper with OCR’d photos, I realize I should use a similar workflow to post handwritten zettels to my [[Obsidian]]-based [[zettelkasten]]/[[commonplace book]] too!

Not being in libraries regularly during the pandemic (not to mention an actual symptom of COVID-19) reminds me of the loss of smell of books and manuscripts. When are we going to create the idea of Smell-O-Vision or John Waters’ Odorama for our digital books?
