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.
My first of many manicures, courtesy of my daughter. Also, this is the launch of my hand modeling business. Reply with HANDYMAN for a special introductory offer on my hand modeling services. If you know me, you know that being a hand model is the only way I could call myself a handyman.
I’m getting closer with my latte art, but still have the same issue that I’m having with my workouts: consistency. I still haven’t figured out how to get the milk to the right consistency where the foam sits on top but isn’t thick like whipped cream.
I was just minding my business this morning when I came across these modern-take-on-ancient-slings and now I feel like I need to channel my inner-David and buy one. Somebody please talk me out of it. Pan Slings
I’m getting back to reading physical books and dog-earing, underlining, and taking notes in the margins. Hand cramping has become a strong signal for the quality of a book.
A new season
I love that it’s starting to feel like fall again. This summer has been brutally hot. My poor lawn looks like withered, uncooked, squiggly spaghetti. But cool breezes have begun to weave their way back into the air. It’s been much more pleasant to take long walks on nature trails with my girls. I’ve even been able to wear a hoodie a few times. The changing weather feels especially significant because it aligns with some significant change in my life.
An update: My latte art still needs some work.
If you give a mouse a cookie, he’ll ask for a glass of milk. 🥛
If you give a car mechanic a tire replacement, he’ll ask for a rear pad/rotor/caliper replacement and a front caliper clean and lube. 🙃
Attempt #1 at latte art 😅 My wife helped with this one lol. Latte art is the newest micro-skill I’m determined to learn!
We love our local winery. Not pictured: the goats who love eating weeds out of my daughter’s hand ❤️🐐
