Welcome to the Textual Underground
What appears here as a blog post usually began somewhere less presentable. A sentence in a daily note. A line spoken into a recorder while walking. A paragraph abandoned three years ago. A highlight from a book I wasn't expecting to matter. A half-formed thought dropped into Obsidian before it could evaporate. A conversation with...

Das Sharesheet als universelle Obsidian-Schnittstelle
Ich habe gerade ausführlich den Obsidian Web Clipper im ObsidianGuide behandelt, da landet eine neue Catalyst-Version 1.13.1 von Obsidian auf meinem iPad, die das Clippen von Webseiten und anderen Inhalten über das Sharesheets deutlich vereinfacht, damit lassen sich Inhalte direkt aus vielen Apps heraus in Obsidian speichern. Da es sich im Moment um eine Funktion...
Zwei neue Kapitel im ObsidianGuide zum Obsidian Web Clipper
Der Obsidian Web Clipper ist ein Werkzeug, das ich bisher unterschätzt habe. Ich habe nun zwei Artikel, Vom Link zur Notiz und Einstellungen, zu diesem mächtigen Tool in meinem ObsidianGuide veröffentlicht. Anhand von einigen Beispielvorlagen versuche ich die Grundlagen bei der Verwendung zu vermitteln. Das Tool bietet mit den verschiedenen Variablen, den Filtern und seinen...
Journaling with Obsidian - Update
About five months ago, I made the decision to stop using DayOne for journaling and use Obsidian for journaling instead. It felt like a big decision at the time, as I had journaled in DayOne for over 14 years, amassing thousands of memories. I made the move to Obsidian not certain that Obsidian as a journaling platform would stick. But stick it has and I haven't once considered returning to DayOne. The biggest reason I made this move away from DayOne was to get my journaling under my complete con...
Before Obsidian: A Short History of Networked Knowledge and Markup
Obsidian did not emerge from nowhere. This article traces the decades of ideas behind it, from Vannevar Bush’s Memex and Ted Nelson’s Xanadu to the web, wikis, knowledge management, and Markdown. It shows how Obsidian combines networked thinking, backlinks, transclusion, and plain-text durability into a practical personal knowledge system.
Obsidian Reader
I was excited to see make this announcement last week: I use GoodLinks for saving most things I find on the web because it does great saving most things (and parsing text from most news outlets, including Apple News), highlighting is very easy in it, and I can easily export my highlights in Markdown to Obsidian (although in my desire to cure my digital hoarding disorder, I’m trying to do that less). However, this new element to the Obsidian web clipper app is really cool and I’ll probably use it...
Intentional daily journaling
I have kept a digital journal for a long time, starting with Momento on my iPhone way back in the day, and then switching to DayOne about 14 years ago. For 14 years, I used DayOne fairly frequently as a place to jot down thoughts, achievements, occurrences in my life, and reflections. However, I made the decision this year to move my journaling from DayOne to Obsidian, mostly as an effort to achieve greater portability, reduce friction, and eliminate another app subscription. I was mostly gratef...

Is the Obsidian graph useless?
According to Obsidian, the graph view is a core plugin that lets you visualize the relationships between the notes in your vault. Online there is a love/hate relationship with the Obsidian graph view. Some people see the sharing of these graphs as a useless flex (see here and here). Meanwhile, any forum where Obsidian users lurk is filled with pictures of these these weird brain-shaped dot graphs. But in this feature useful? Is it more than just “productivity porn?” (HT to Merlin Mann for that p...
Taio - a great Obsidian companion app
Someone on Mastodon reminded me that I wrote about Taio years ago. So I thought it would be a good time to revisit my use of Taio because, yes, I still use it with Obsidian. I mostly use Taio to access my .obsidian and .trash folders on mobile. These folders are hidden in the iOS system and not directly accessible via the Obsidian app. In Taio I can easily create and add .css snippets to my Obsidian vault or pull something out of the trash without having to go to my computer.
Plugins for journaling in Obsidian
When I decided to move my journaling from DayOne to Obsidian, there were two things I knew I was going to miss - the calendar view and the map view. Way back when I last used Obsidian, there was not a simple way to replicate these features within Obsidian. Thankfully, that has changed. In addition to the standard Daily Notes core plugin, here is how I replicated these other features: Notebook Navigator is a wonderful plugin that replaces a lot of other plugins. But the most important thing it do...
Obsidian monospace snippet
A fun little CSS snippet for Obsidian that makes the entire vault appear in Monospace font. Because Monospace just feels more productive. Or something. Eliminates the need to do custom font installations.
Discovery as a Process Enhancer
It’s 3am and I can’t sleep. Getting over being sick and losing sleep over my puppy’s discomfort—poor boy was sick too—my mind’s just UP, and it’s annoying. But there’s only so much doom-scrolling I can do before I feel like I’m wasting my time, so I’m doing a bit of writing based on a common theme in my Bluesky feed: lots and lots of new shit sprouting in the atproto universe.
On portability and notes apps
Evernote is getting a lot of flack lately and for good reason. It was recently acquired by Bending Spoons, a company that has acquired a number of other apps and proceeded to enshittify them. It appears Bending Spoons is now doing the same with Evernote. Evernote’s pricing recently jumped to $250 year (or $25/month) for their “advanced” plan. THAT. IS. INSANE. And people are rightfully getting very annoyed with up Evernote (see just a few examples here, here, here, and here).

How I gradually fell out of love with the idea of using a code editor for all of my writing—in part because of a subtle MacOS feature that Linux doesn’t have.
