21st-century reading habits: I’m currently reading two books on my Kindle; two books on my iPhone using the iBooks, one of which is an ePub I helped Kickstart; one print book, which I’m only reading because I can’t get it as an ebook; and listening to an audiobook.
Am I missing something, or is the dictation function for Drafts on the Apple Watch no longer available? ⌚️
I’m pleased with myself for processing the highlights from the books I’m reading into Obsidian. I’ve got a neat little workflow that scans highlights from print books and adds them to Obsidian using Drafts and Text Case. The trick is to make notes now that they’ve been processed.
I associate Oktoberfest with a cracked tooth. Years ago, when I lived in Boston, I went to an Oktoberfest by the Channel. I bit into a brat, and hit a piece of gristle, and I cracked a tooth. By the way, I just ordered a bratwurst. I will eat it with care.
Every morning I listen to two albums. Today I listened to Desertshore by Nico and Return To Forever by Chick Corea. 🎵

Glad my experiment of one home screen with Drafts, Stacked & Siri Recommendation widgets is ending. I’d often look for an app, get confused why it wasn’t on my home screen, search for it, forget what I was looking for or forget what I wanted to accomplish once I did find the app.

Finished reading: Night Market Noodles by Peter Lamborn Wilson 📚 Like most people, I know Wilson as Hakim Bey, the author of the much beloved T.A.Z. (Temporary Autonomous Zones). Nightnoodles isn’t the anarcho-mystical experience that T.A.Z. was, but it’s a pleasant romp through some of Wilson’s favorite themes and ideas.

It tickles me that Xas Irkalla, the grimdark survival horror rpg I’ll be running in October, occupies a slot in Drafts on my home screen. 🎲
Voice-to-Drafts
I’ve added widgets to my phone’s home screen, but they’ve always felt they didn’t offer much and wasted real estate. But once I acknowledged how much I use Drafts, adding their widget was a no-brainer. I’ve got Drafts tweaked seamlessly to gather content I can later harvest. The only thing that remains a hurdle is using Siri to capture notes. The workaround of using the Reminders app to get notes into Drafts is acceptable, but it’s less than ideal.
