Just finished importing my literature notes from “4000 Weeks” by Oliver Burkeman into TheBrain App.
Qobuz suggestion algo > Apple Music suggestion algo.
If Stephen King’s Sleepwalkers had taken place in Ohio, the humans would not have prevailed. 🤷♂️
I’m finally trying out TheBrain app.
Two things stand out. Deliberate terminology. You have a thought and a thought has a type. I find that refreshing. This begs for a relatively flat structure with tags added for flavor.
I have a thought about Groundhog Day. It’s a movie type. And its genre tag is comedy-ish. Just like, well, my brain.
This is still one of my go to’s when I’m feeling down. Not only is it full of great wisdom, but Mr. Bradbury uses the term flimflam and I think we need more of this type of vocabulary in our lives.
I just spent WAY too long investigating how to sync a highlighted Zotero pdf into Readwise with the highlights intact. All I had to do was look at the imports on Readwise to see that PDF is supported. Worked great! 🤦♂️
This is why I’m currently simplifying my digital stack.
Lines like this are why I love Murakami.

It cannot be this heavy of a lift to PREpend text to an Apple Note can it? Best I can tell, you need to:
- Find original note
- Get body
- Delete original note
- Create new note with new text followed by the original body text.

Finally getting around to seeing Alien Romulus. Empty theater! Love it!
Currently importing all of my Readwise highlights to Apple Notes via the Readwise API and Shortcuts. Gonna try native Apple stack for writing, notes, etc. for a bit.
What is better? A medium amount of good pizza or all you can -
You’re getting CosaNostra

Testing iOS shortcut posting again as I had to change the Hugo version that the action ran.
