# Miscellanea for 2025-09-18

- Hello world!
- I should write something here, just to get something written.
- I seem to join discord servers aspirationally like I used to buy domain names
- Just found this [Obsidian Kindle Plugin](https://github.com/hadynz/obsidian-kindle-plugin) that does what it says on the tin.
	- I've read a lot on a Kindle over the past 10 years at least.
	- But, my pace has accelerated lately since I've reliably carved out 30 minutes every weekday morning to ride an exercise bike and read while I'm doing it.
	- The highlight feature always seemed neat but pointless, because I never really looked into how to uplift that data into some other system.
	- But, this plugin did a nice job of pulling down all the highlights and notes from books I've read on my Kindle.
	- So now, I have nice markdown files for all my books, ready to copy/paste into blog posts if I manage to motivate myself to do it.
- Apropos of that plugin, I just finished reading [*Co-Intelligence: Living and Working with AI* by Ethan Mollick](https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/741805/co-intelligence-by-ethan-mollick/)—maybe I should try collecting some highlights and thoughts around that?
	- Probably worth its own standalone post, rather than trying to clutter up a miscellanea post like this.
	- Off the top of my head, I thought this book was pretty great. Neither selling doom nor hype, rather realistic about where AI was at, circa April 2024.
	- That said, it all still applies now in September 2025, but it's worth noting that this stuff is still moving fast—I don't think we've quite hit the flattening of the [S-curve](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sigmoid_function) yet. 
		- Though, I do think we will find that flattening—and will have found that this stuff isn't a hockey stick.
