2. Messidor honoring the Oat, Summer Solstice, Cronia* #Notebook Chronicle Go-To w/ Mohawk paper, dotted & Col-o-ring swatch booklet
#FountainPen TWSBI Eco - black, 1.1 stub
#ink Diamine Best Wishes
#tarot or #OracleDeck Lineages of Change Tarot #CardOfTheDay The Mutha of Air - perceptiveness, directness, determination — herb: catnip (Apologies for higher than average typos — Covid brain fog sucks)

Open notebook with handwritten text from the post at the top of the page with additional text: “The only important festival of Cronus in classical times was the Cronia, celebrated as a typical harvest festival with class distinctions abolished, in Athens, Rhodes, and Thebes. Cronus was represented holding a curved object, perhaps the reaping-hook, the castration of Uranus being an explanatory story. The Greeks identified him with such foreign gods as Moloch; the Romans with their own Saturn. The name was in later times etymologically linked to Chronos, time, but there is no justification for this linkage.” — Maria Leach and Jerome Fried, Funk and Wagnall’s Standard Dictionary of Folklore, 1972. Below the text a black fountain pen with silver trim and a clear plastic body lies across the page. Below the pen is a card with the image of a ghostly alien face in black and white on yellow with smoke like tendrils above a sprig of catnip, a swatch of a dark green ink with red sheen and green shimmer, and a rectangular bottle with an old-fashioned type label of said ink.

I don’t know how I did it but I stained my brand new Galen Leather journal

A dark red A5 sized journal with a small stain located at the bottom. I don’t know what the stain is…

#ink Lamy Petrol
#tarot or #OracleDeck Tarot of the Cosmic Seed #CardOfTheDay 3 of Coins (reversed) - solitude, fear of missing out

Open notebook with handwritten text from the post at the top of the page with additional text: “Lift every voice and sing/ Till earth and heaven ring./ Ring with the harmonies of Liberty;/ Let our rejoicing rise/ High as the listening skies,/ Let it resound loud as the rolling sea./ Sing a song full of the faith that the dark past has taught us,/ Sing a song full of the hope that the present has brought us;/ Facing the rising sun of our new day begun,/ Let us march on till victory is won.” — “Lift Every Voice and Sing” by James Weldon Johnson written in 1920, aka the Black National Anthem. Below the text is a card with a collage of three women with 1920 Marcel wave hairstyles wearing cheongsams. Two in red dresses are seated with a coin beneath them and the third is standing as if on the arms of their chairs forming a pyramid and is crowned by the third coin. Four enormous looking irises are being held by the two seated women. Next to the card is a turquoise colored pen with a swatch of dark teal ink and a sample tube of the same.

How to Use a Notebook When Your Life Isn’t Busy via Notebook Stories [Shared]

A few months ago, I wrote about my latest work notebook, a vintage Filofax. It’s working so well for me that I wish I had bought a Filofax in this size years ago to use for this purpose. I can’t help regretting all those wasted decades of using random office supply closet notebooks (as well as some nicer notebooks received as samples or bought since starting this blog)! Now that I have found a satisfying set-up, I think I’ll be sticking with it, but the question is how long will I continue to need a work notebook if I am likely to retire within the next decade? This is just one more indication of my notebook addiction– I’m worried that if I stop working, I’ll have fewer notes to write, and fewer reasons to use notebooks!

For now this is the manner in which I have to monitor my storage devices, using an obsolete notebook.

Make no mistake the middle IPS LED panel is not, I repeat _not_ driven by The Notebook. A dedicated audio device is driving that screen. A device which runs 24/7 using an embedded Linux version. This is one of the devices I have connected to my Analog Audio network, to make sure that there's always an audio signal in the network.

I'm using a Live version of my favorite Linux distribution. As you may remember, none of my bootable storage devices can be used, since they all have EFI and the notebook doesn't even know what language that is let alone access them in a bootable fashion.

#FountainPen Lamy AL-Star - silver, EF
#ink Wearinguel Sedna
#tarot or #OracleDeck Nocturna Oracle #CardOfTheDay Dusk - duality, cycles, beginning

Open notebook with handwritten text from the post at the top of the page with additional text: “Virtually nothing is known of Saint Calogero before his arrival in Sciacca, Sicily. Legend has it that he came from afar, fleeing persecution. Calogero was a Black man, and it is theorized that he was originally from Ethiopia. He lived as a hermit on the mountain now named for him, Mount San Calogero, dying there in 486 CE of natural causes…Calogero is a very beloved saint, venerated wherever Sicilians have emigrated. He is invoked for all kinds of healing, but especially for joint disorders. He continues to perform miracles and is renowned for healing the lame and disabled. Calogero is the guardian of the summer harvest. His festival coincides with a Sicilian festival dedicated to bread…San Calogero bread is a special ritual bread that is cut into anatomical shapes —arms, legs, so forth—like an ex-voto, then blessed on his feast day and preserved to be eaten in times of need…Bread prepared for Saint Calogero’s feast is traditionally studded with fennel, sesame, and poppy seeds.” — Judika Illes, Encyclopedia of Mystics, Saints and Sages, 2011. Below the text is a card with an image of sunset over the ocean, a silver fountain pen, a swatch of a medium blue ink and square bottle of said ink.

#tarot or #OracleDeck Mildred Payne’s Oracle of Black Enchantment #CardOfTheDay 26 The White Cat - Ignoring your intuition at your own peril — or, Making an ally out of a former enemy

Open notebook with handwritten text from the post at the top of the page with additional text: “The medical library of Ashurbanipal, for exam- ple, is a veritable Physician’s Desk Reference, listing some 250 vegetable substances and some 120 mineral ones with ascribed medicinal properties. The most common mineral agents were potassium nitrate (or saltpeter), a known astringent, and sodium chloride (or salt), a recognized antiseptic. In addition, sulphur and alum are cited. Modern medicine also acknowl- edges the curative powers of many Mesopotamian extracts derived from seeds, fruits, roots, leaves, branches, barks, and gums. This natural pharmacopeia included asafoetida, belladonna, cannabis, cardamon, cassia, castor oil, cinnamon, colocynth, coriander, date, fig, fir, garlic, henbane, juniper, licorice, mandragora, mint, mustard, myrrh, myrtle, pear, poppy, thyme, and willow. Even the right time to pick herbs was noted in order to assure their maximum efficacy. The extraction and purification of minerals, moreover, points to an early but sophisticated understanding of chemistry.” — Stephen Bergman, Handbook to Life in Ancient Mesopotamia, 2003. Below the text is a brown fountain pen with silver trim and a large landscape format card of a cat making friends with three birds.

27. Prairial honoring Vervain, Marie Laveau d. 1881, St. Vitus, Father’s Day* #Notebook Chronicle Go-To w/ Mohawk paper, dotted & Col-o-ring swatch booklet
#FountainPen ystudio Resin - red, F
#ink Kyo no oto Adzukiiro
#tarot or #OracleDeck Inner Eye Oracle #CardOfTheDay 5 of Clubs - Obstacles

Open notebook with handwritten text from the post at the top of the page with additional text: “Vitus, patron saint of Bohemia (d. c.303?). One of the Fourteen Auxiliary Saints. He is believed to have been a child martyr, from Lucania or Sicily; later legend has him, together with his tutor Modestus and his nurse Crescentia, successively boiled in oil, thrown to the lions, and stretched on the rack, yet emerging unscathed to die peacefully at home in Lucania. He was said to cause, or cure, the Tanzwut or dancing mania in which wild leaps and gyrations, often to music specially requested for the purpose, led to mass fainting especially among girls and young women; the phenomenon has been compared with proceedings at modern rock concerts. Its Italian counterpart was the tarantella, which particularly affected the garishly clad young; it is recalled by the 'tarantellas' of nineteenth- and twentieth-century music. This was unjustly blamed on the bite of the tarantula; no doubt the saint was as innocent as the spider, but the name 'St Vitus' dance' has not only remained in use but annexed the nervous disease technically known as 'Sydenham's chorea'. He is patron saint of dancers and by extension actors and comedians.” — Blackburn & Holford-Stevens, Oxford Canpanion to the Year, 1999. Below the card is a red fountain pen, a large 5 of clubs card with an old padlock image, a swatch of oxblood ink and curved rectangular bottle of said ink.

#ink J. Herbin Caroube de Chypre
#tarot or #OracleDeck House of Seven Gables playing cards #CardOfTheDay 6 of Hearts - Road of the heart, unexpected happiness

Open notebook w/ handwritten text of the post w/ more text: “Dinner alone is one of life’s pleasures. Certainly cooking for oneself reveals man at his weirdest. People lie when you ask them what they eat when they are alone. A salad, they tell you. But when you persist, they confess to peanut butter and bacon sandwiches deep fried and eaten with hot sauce, or spaghetti with butter and grape jam. I looked forward to nights alone. I would stop to buy my eggplant and some red peppers. At home I would fling off my coat, switch on the burner under my teakettle, slice up the eggplant, and make myself a cup of coffee. I could do all this without moving a step. When the eggplant was getting crisp, I turned down the fire and added garlic, tamari sauce, lemon juice and some shredded red peppers. While this stewed, I drank my coffee and watched the local news. Then I uncovered the eggplant, cooked it down and ate it at my desk out of an old Meissen dish, with my feet up on my wicker footrest as I watched the national news.” — Laurie Colwin, “Alone in the Kitchen with an Eggplant,” Home Cooking, 1988. Below the text are two 6 of hearts cards, one red on black & one a standard one altered w/ cartomancy meanings in Sharpie & a double line through the middle for a road. There is a gold fountain pen in the gutter of the notebooks & laying off the bottom of the page is a swatch of red brown ink w/ green sheening & copper shimmer next to a square bottle of the same ink.

25. Prairial honoring Tench, W. B. Yeats b. 1865, Lesser Quinquartria of Minerva, Gerald Gardner b. 1884, St. Anthony of Padua, St. Aquilina, Ember Day*, Ides of June #Notebook Chronicle Go-To w/ Mohawk paper, dotted & Col-o-ring swatch booklet
#FountainPen Conklin Herringbone Signature - silver, F
#ink Diamine Chilly Nights
#tarot or #OracleDeck Mystic Storyteller Tarot #CardOfTheDay VI Cups - Friendship, nostalgia, volunteering

Open notebook with handwritten text from the post at the top of the page with additional text: “The tench was commonly called the physician, for it was believed by our forefathers that when the other fish were in any way hurt and required the aid of surgeon or physician, they healed themselves by rubbing against the tench, finding the slime of his body to be a ‘soveraigne salve’ for their needs. For the sufferings of humanity the beasts, birds, and plants appear to have supplied a sufficient materia medica, and the less accessible creatures of the waters were but rarely pressed into the mediæval pharmacopœia.” — F. Edward Hulme, Natural History Lore and Legend, 1895. Below the text is a card with artwork of two children standing behind a row of four gold chalices filled with white flowers. One child is handing the other another chalice and the six is on a balustrade behind them. Next to the card is a chiseled silver-tone pen, a swatch of dark blue ink with heavy silver shimmer, and a small square bottle of the same ink.

23. Prairial honoring Honeysuckle, Mother Shipton Day*, Ember Day*, King Kamehameha I Day, Matralia, Offerings to Amun, Full Moon in Sagittarius  #Notebook Chronicle Go-To w/ Mohawk paper, dotted & Col-o-ring swatch booklet
#FountainPen Lamy AL-Star - sage green, F
#ink Diamine Weeping Willow
#tarot or #OracleDeck Folkloric Forest Tarot #CardOfTheDay 0 The Fool - chance, limitless, bravery

Open notebook with handwritten text from the post at the top of the page with additional text: “According to popular belief, Mother Shipton lived in Tudor times and foretold many major events in English history. A chapbook of 1641 alleges she was born at Knaresborough (Yorkshire) in 1488 and died in her seventies; however, these details may be inaccurate. A later one (1684) is frankly fabulous, making her a devil’s child and a witch. Prophecies attributed to her were exploited in the Civil War. In 1862 Charles Hindley, a hack writer and publisher, reprinted one of the old chapbooks, adding some rhyming ‘prophecies’ of his own invention, concluding dramatically: ‘The world then to an end shall come/ In eighteen hundred and eighty-one.’ These verses caused considerable alarm among the lower classes. Hindley later confessed he had written them himself. Even so, there was panic when the Doomsday year arrived, especially around Brighton (Sussex), where Hindley’s pamphlet had been printed.” — Jacqueline Simpson, A Dictionary of English Folklore, 2000. Below the text is a card of the painting “Trompe l’Oeil with Falconer’s Bag and other Equipment for Falconry” (1671) by Cornelius Norbertus Gijsbrechts (Flemish, c.1630-c.1675). Next to the card is a light green fountain pen with a swatch of yellowish green-brown chroma-shading ink and a small square bottle of said ink.

Hey #PKM and #notetaking enthusiasts out there!

I'm looking for an affordable, A5 sized, #eInk #notebook.
I don't want / need Android on it (read, I don't need playstore apps or side-taking) - it should be as distraction free as possible.

It should also be able to do OCR on my handwriting and give me a means to manually or automatically export the text to some machine processable format (read: text, markdown?, anything NOT a PDF or image).

Having a nice sturdy, non-plastic hardware would be a bonus but isn't a deal breaker.
