New library almost done, can't wait to fill it with all my books 🥰 I've designed and built lots furniture in the past but this has been the most complex and challenging by far. In the past I have mostly worked with plywood. For this project I wanted to build out of solid oak and use Japanese joinery techniques. I don't have time to fabricate complex projects these days, and I wasn't confident enough in my woodworking skills. So I collaborated with a local carpenter. This allowed for so many more interesting design details that I wouldn't have thought of myself. Whatever your furniture needs are, consider being a patron of your local carpenters, cabinetmakers, and woodworkers. Yes it's slower and more expensive than going to IKEA but the process is much more rewarding, and the results will be more unique and long lasting.

music notation is hard for me, so I'm trying to create an intentional synesthetic connection between notes and colors in my brain I made a new version of kepiano that connects via midi and displays the notes as flexoki colors (oh and there's a woodworking project in there too)

here's an example of using Obsidian Web Clipper to extract the transcript from a YouTube video then run it through Interpreter to summarize the key points you can do the same with your highlights, or any page content you want — and run templates based on URL patterns

Here's a little tool I built to design Flexoki 2.0. I wanted artistic control over ramping while still interpolating colors programmatically with Oklab. In the future it could be used to create more hues and emulate watercolor pigment types within the Flexoki color space.

Obsidian Web Clipper now lets you manage highlights, and stays in Reader mode when you click links. It's such a pleasant way to browse the web. You can control the colors, fonts, and easily copy anything to Markdown.

I can't go back to the regular YouTube UI after this 😅 Obsidian Reader now makes the transcript interactive so you can scrub, highlight, auto-scroll. It feels so nice.

I have been working on Obsidian Reader for a over a year. I didn't want to share it until I felt it was good enough. It's finally there. Consistent formatting for any article. Outline, syntax highlighting, nice footnotes, adjustable typography. Runs locally. Just rules, no AI.

Defuddle now returns Youtube transcripts! Paste a YouTube link into defuddle.md to get a markdown transcript with timestamps, chapters, and pretty good diarization! ...or if you just want to read it, try the new Reader mode in Obsidian Web Clipper powered by Defuddle.

We're entering the stage where robots can do the robot dance and it's recognizable as a joke. The emulator emulates past emulation. In other words, the robot dance is transitioning to a form of historical preservation. The equivalent of a Renaissance fair performance. It's a recurring cycle: 1. A new technology emerges that attempts to emulate human behavior. 2. The failure to perfectly emulate humans gives rise to a vernacular based on the uncanny feeling of that emulator, e.g. the specific stiffness of robots. 3. Humans emulate the emulator as a form of entertainment and commentary, e.g. humans doing the robot dance. 4. Technology crosses the uncanny valley, it acquires lifelike behavior. The emulation becomes realistic. (We are here now!) 5. The vernacular of the emulator survives as a form of historical reenactment. There are many examples of this phenomenon e.g. Pinkydoll the "NPC streamer" or a musician like JD Beck who drums with the feeling and precision of a drum machine.

web views work just like any other Obsidian tab, meaning you can split vertically, split horizontally, stack tabs, pop out new windows, etc this opens up new workflows for web research, or editing websites generated from your .md files
