In my question to not go into a negative spiral over year 3 of this panini, this Sunday's stream is all about the *good* money news of 2021.
Do you have any money wins of your own? Raised a credit score? Managed on a low income? Quit a job? let me know so can shout you out!

"text": "A Capital User Interface Idea\nA few weeks ago I saw Ben Stokes\u2019 post about PaperWebsite.com and my immediate reaction was, \u201cI have to be able to do that!\u201d I\u2019ve long enjoyed writing by hand over typing as the tactile feel of of pen or pencil and paper is such an enjoyable one. I particularly enjoy using a nice fountain pen on high quality paper.\nObviously there was a route to doing a workflow like this as Ben had shown. I just needed to figure out a method with a low enough barrier that I could personally implement for doing this with my own WordPress website.\nA Quick Solution\nNot being a serious coder, I immediately began looking for ways I could leverage some of the IndieWeb building blocks my site supports. Micropub seemed like a no-brainer for the posting portion since I\u2019ve got an endpoint using the Micropub WordPress plugin. Certainly not wanting to manually re-type everything once I was finished writing, I needed a way of converting my handwriting to text and then automating a way to plug that into my micropub client.\nA short burst of searching revealed that Google Docs could do Optical Character Recognition (OCR) on photos. I pulled out my IFTTT app and found a recipe for taking a photo and saving it to Google Drive. Then I set up another recipe to watch a particular folder in Google Drive and take whatever text appears in new documents and send it to my website using a webhook that uses my Micropub endpoint. The whole thing only took a half hour from idea to a working prototype. In the end it took a tap to open IFTTT on my phone and another tap to take the photo. Then I had to manually open the document to trigger the OCR. Finally, I had to manually open and edit the post before posting.\nI had set the micropub client to post as a draft as a default just in case the OCR wasn\u2019t perfect. This was fortunate as the Google photo OCR was so solid that the letters \u201cDia\u201d of the microscopic text from the word \u201cDiamond\u201d partially visible on my pen cap that was in the photo got pulled into the post.\nIn the few times I\u2019ve used this workflow so far, I\u2019ve mostly done straight text and syndicated posts to Twitter, Mastodon, and Micro.blog. Perhaps in the future I might set things up to add HTML links, but they\u2019re fairly easy to add at the editing stage.\nSince I started my experimentation, a few others in the IndieWeb community have noticed the paperwebsite.com site. Greg McVerry popped up and linked to it as well. He mentioned that he had a digital notebook with OCR capability. This reminded me that I\u2019ve got both a Livescribe Echo pen and a Rocketbook notebook with a Pilot Frixion pen that has an app for uploading digitized images of notebook pages. I hadn\u2019t done OER with Livescribe in ages, so I pulled out the Rocketbook, which is cleverly erasable and thus reusable not to mention being fairly inexpensive. A bit of quick set up allowed me to take a photo of a page which automatically uploads to Google Drive and does its own OCR process. This already dovetails with my prior process, so the whole thing is much smoother. As a result, I\u2019m composing this post in my Rocketbook notebook and will automatically upload and post it to my site as a draft. I\u2019ll probably add some links, a photo or two, and then publish it in a bit.\nRocketbook Interface\nThe Rocketbook notebook has some solid pages with an odd shiny texture and feel, presumably part of the technology that makes it easy to wipe them clean for reuse. The bottom of each page has seven different faint icon images which are meant to allow the app to determine where to send the digital copy of the notes. One can send them via email or to a variety of storage or sharing services. I could imagine having different recipes set up to allow one to publish their notes to different websites based on the icon X-ed out. Given the micropub possibilities, one could also use the icons as a means of differentiating post kinds (for example, indicating that a particular post is a note, an article, or a bookmark). Another alternate idea would be to use the icons as a means of selecting which services to syndicate your content to (for example, the diamond could mean syndicate this post to Micro.blog, the bell could mean Mastodon, and the clover syndicates the post to Twitter).\n\nThe overall process is quite elegant and pleasant. The OCR for Rocketbook is reasonably good aside from a few spelling errors which are easy enough to click and fix. I\u2019ll admit that I far prefer using a fountain pen on some Tomoe River paper to using the Rocketbook paper and the Frixion pen, but really, who wouldn\u2019t?\nHandwritten notes for your digital zettelkasten or personal wiki\nSince I\u2019ve already got most of the infrastructure, I\u2019ve gone the extra mile and set things up so that I can take notes on index cards zettelkasten-style and use a similar set up to post them to my Obsidian vault using similar IFTTT recipes.\nTry it yourself\nFor those who want to set this up themselves, I\u2019ve documented the IFTTT/micropub portion before. I\u2019ll post the specific code I\u2019m using below for these who may want it. The nice part is that as long as you have a micropub server for your website platform (there are many CMSs that have native or plugin support) the WordPress portion isn\u2019t a deal breaker for others.\nI\u2019m sure, now that there are multiple proofs of concept, some enterprising developer will build a custom micropub client to do all of this work automatically or with a few options built into a clever interface.\nI could see pen and paper manufacturers (Moleskin, Leuchtturm, Rocketbook, etc.) creating apps for doing this too. I\u2019d love to see and hear about others trying this out for themselves. Hopefully it can be done with almost no code or some easy cut and paste from my example. Ask if you need help, and I\u2019ll see what I can do to help.\nIFTTT Webhook settings\nThis following will be roughly standard for WordPress endpoints using the plugin, but they can obviously be modified for your platform of choice.\nURL: https://example.com/wp-json/micropub/1.0/endpoint\n\nMethod: POST\n\nContent type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\n\nBody: access_token=PasswordHere&content=<<<{{Body}}>>>&h=entry&category[]=Social%20Stream&post-status=published&visibility=private\n\nHistorical examples\nWhile doing some of this I did come across some older examples of handwriting to websites. Aside from handwriting typography which I think is usually ugly, I saw some interesting examples from Jeff Bridges[1] [2], gRegor Morrill, and scrolled through some great examples of handwritten and typed Tweets by Alton Brown. In his case, he was simply taking photos of his writing, but it worked! I\u2019ll admit he had some fun and was definitely creative about it. Hopefully Twitter always exists to save the copies for him.\n\npic.twitter.com/IlciX7YI\n\u2014 Alton Brown (@altonbrown) November 20, 2012\n\n\n\n\npic.twitter.com/K26PYWGE\n\u2014 Alton Brown (@altonbrown) December 22, 2012\n\n\n\npic.twitter.com/S3AH4Bw0\n\u2014 Alton Brown (@altonbrown) December 10, 2012\n\n\n\npic.twitter.com/4aYvKY1o\n\u2014 Alton Brown (@altonbrown) October 10, 2012\n\n\nConclusion\nIn short, I\u2019ve now got another great way to post to my website. I love the great old school tactile user interface of pen and paper. Now I\u2019m glad to have a reason to be able to do more of it in an ever-digitized culture.\nUntil I start working on cuneiform solutions\u2026\nWrite On! \ud83d\udd8b\nEditor\u2019s note: This post was originally handwritten on Dec 16, 2021 at 20:15.",

While composing an email, "process" would autocorrect to "prices" before I could finish typing the word. After cursing Apple for a good 10 minutes, I realized it was gmail f'ing up: autocorrect is off on my system, and off for my browser. How easy to blame the wrong company. :\

I think a lot of people are heading into the new year with a sense of fear, even dread. There's so much that seems to be going wrong.
The Matrix movies, especially the 4th, remind us that we can transcend despair. We can choose hope. We can choose love. Reclaim our humanity.

#UnintendedTrilogy (#MoviesThatShouldBeATrilogy) that I’ve told friends about for a few years:
1974 The Conversation
1998 Enemy of the State
2004 I, Robot
Gene Hackman plays the same character in the first two, Will Smith in the latter two. Many have posted about EOTS being a sequel to TC, e.g.:
* https://screenrant.com/enemy-state-conversation-sequel-fan-theory-explained/
* https://web.archive.org/web/20211223220730/https://www.avclub.com/to-be-continued-sort-of-11-unofficial-sequels-1798273052/slides/2 (Internet Archive version because too many 3rd party scripts on avclub)
* https://twitter.com/treatshair/status/1468952964261896195
and it was quite obvious to anyone who saw Enemy of the State after seeing The Conversation.
The key to extending this to a trilogy is what happens to Will Smith’s character. In EOTS, his character evolves from having mild techno-optimism/naïveté towards a more critical outlook by the end. In I, Robot, his outlook has continued evolving into full-on techno-skepticism, and he has several encounters where others treat him as crazy or paranoid after he is attacked by robots. Plus there’s his line:
“Does believing you're the last sane man on the planet make you crazy? 'Cause if that's the case, maybe I am.”
Along the way he has also held onto non-networked, non-smart technologies like his old motorcycle, further underscoring his established techno-skepticism.
I’ll leave it at that for now, and may add more later to fill in the narrative & connections between Enemy of the State and I, Robot.
