content: 2026-07-14 capture run — 20 finds across 9 productive sources

Dedup was the story: 56 candidates surfaced, 31 already captured (the daily
feeds largely re-served yesterday's items), 2 previously rejected on merit,
5 failed the bar today.

Shortlisted 10. Two items were demoted off the shortlist by the fact-check
step rather than before it — the Coleman stove's Snow Peak IGT compatibility
is not a claim Coleman makes (and it is backorder-only), and Shortverse is a
filmmaker hosting platform, not the viewer-facing short-film streamer it
looked like. Both stay as finds, honestly written.

5 Amazon links. Source maintenance: Kevin Kelly demoted weekly -> as-needed
(publishes, but the Technium is essays, never things); The Browser's free feed
now carries only 2 of 5 daily picks; two Reddit 429s recorded but not acted on
(same-domain subs succeeded, so it reads as throttling, not a block).

description: "Dan Price's 1999 Ten Speed Press chapbook on idiosyncratic visual journaling — every page hand-drawn and hand-lettered rather than typeset, short enough to read in one sitting."
---
Dan Price built a cult following with Moonlight Chronicles, a self-published journal-zine, before Ten Speed Press collected his approach into this 128-page guide. Every page is hand-drawn and hand-lettered rather than typeset, so the book demonstrates the loose, sketchy, unprecious style of journaling it's teaching rather than just describing it. Short enough to read in one sitting, and more of a nudge to start than a rulebook.
