You know what's weird? I've spent a couple hours today cleaning my Emacs init.el file and re-writing my notmuch config (I'm switching back from Mu4e). That's not the weird part. The weird part is that nearly everything else I've typed today has been in a browser window via SilverBullet.

I keep finding that it doesn't matter to people how a photographic print was made. When I tell someone that I made a photo "by hand in my darkroom" they may give a subtle nod of approval, but that's about it. It's disappointing, considering that how a print was made is so meaningful to me, personally.

Today I learned about SilverBullet

SilverBullet is a note-taking application optimized for people with a hacker mindset. We all take notes. There’s a million note taking applications out there. Literally. Wouldn’t it be nice to have one where your notes are more than plain text files? Where your notes essentially become a database that you can query; that you can build custom knowledge applications on top of? A hackable notebook, if you will?

Well now who can't resist that? Me, that's who.

I installed SilverBullet via OrbStack, which is also new to me, and is delicious.

First impressions are (it's only been a few hours) that I think he's onto something. I can't explain it, but SilverBullet immediately felt more right to me than Obsidian. I am running it locally on my Mac Mini and accessing it from everywhere else using Tailscale.

I certainly don't need another way to take notes, but I'm going to continue giving SilverBullet a spin and see if it leads anywhere.

It's Monday. This morning I'm going with a simple setup. Emacs, Finder, Terminal, and Safari. Those are not the only apps I'll use, but that's where I'm going to try focusing my attention. Also, I'm blogging here at baty.net with Kirby. I spent some time over the weekend with my other blogs. I love them, but need to Reduce & Simplify a bit. So, good morning!

I'm beginning to think that it's a bad idea to optimize for quick and easy capture.
