Sharing all of my book, article, and podcast highlights

I finally got my Readwise Highlights synced into Obsidian in a way that lets me share all my highlights from my digital garden (garden.weidok.al). Take a peek if you want to see the books, articles, and podcasts I’ve highlighted and taken notes on: Jakes Digital Garden - 400 Readwise Highlights As I mentioned earlier this week, I’ve been reading a lot more physical books and I haven’t made the effort to save my highlights from those into Readwise.

2024 Blog in Review

My first full year of blogging is in the books! Or should I say, in the internet archive? Check out this neat sitemap graph of my blog generated by the internet archive. I can’t believe I’ve been doing this for over a year! One thing that has become clear is I write more like a geyser than a waterfall. I spend most of my time dormant, and then have a sudden flurry of activity before going quiet again.

I shared my article about my Obsidian Daily Note template on Reddit in the ObsidianMD community and got a really positive response. I was surprised how quickly people were already trying to incorporate changes into their workflow and had questions for me (I had never posted on Reddit before)! I even had one person (@amerpie) reach out individually to let me know the template had helped him, and came to find out he was a fellow resident of Micro.blog! The web is an awesome and positive place when you know where to look!
