Here are links to all the posts I made on my blog, Zibaldone.net, this week. Some of them were mirrored here, but several are only available there. You can also add its RSS feed (https://zibaldone.net/feed/) to your reader.

2-8-26: A post and video about retrieving old peppermint industry research I had done in the app, Tinderbox, and adding detail to the story of the Peppermint Kings.

2-9-26: An announcement that I’m going to begin a “blog” within my Obsidian-vault web-book of the Peppermint Kings Annotated project, to focus on some less formal content and create a place where I can list weekly additions to the site.

2-11-26: A rant about Substack’s clunky interface, cross-posted to MakingHistory.

2-11-26: A post about the images of early Peppermint Essence ads from the Revolutionary era, that I’m adding to my web-book.

2-12-26: A post with links to the three YouTube videos of January 2026’s Book Club meetings discussing Stephen Pinker’s new book, When Everyone Knows That Everyone Knows, along with time-coded summaries, generated pretty effectively by AI. I’ll be adding more of these summary posts for each of the previous book club books, in chronological order. Perhaps also for other YouTube videos of mine, as this AI summarizing is an interesting way for me to begin making keyword lists for my own system.

2-12-26: A post with links to all the YouTube videos of the Book Club meetings covering Stephen Pinker’s recent book, When Everyone Knows That Everyone Knows, along with AI-produced summaries with timestamps.

2-12-26: Some thoughts about transcribing and summarizing videos and the tools I’m using to do that.

2-12-26: A repost of a YouTube video I made in June 2020 about the free tools Zotero and Hypothesis and how I was using them in my very early White Pine Lumber research, with an AI-generated, timestamped summary.

2-13-26: The very first book club in December 2021 and January 2022, including links to the videos and AI-generated summaries with timestamps. The book was Graeber and Wengrow’s The Dawn of Everything.

2-14-26: The second book club, in which we discuss Sönke Ahrens’ book, How to Take Smart Notes, from early February to early March, 2022.
