So what's everyone's way to add a reference to a .bib file in Emacs? Or is it something to use Zotero for?

Something I wrote a few years ago, now polished and online for the first time:

Emacs anniversary. A recollection of and reflection on how I got into Emacs in 2017 (as a non-programmer), and accidentally learned Emacs and Vim at the same time.

Emacs anniversary

"Emacs is an incredible piece of software. So much so, that anyone who uses Emacs for long enough, has to write at least a single blog post about it. I don’t make the rules."

So here we go: https://www.eliasstorms.net/notes-index.html

Also: finally converted my personal website from Hugo to Emacs and Org-mode. Pretty basic still, we'll see how it goes.

Notes on Emacs

After spending some more time with it, QuickTimer is hands down the most powerful timer for #pebble I have used up until now. Takes some getting used to, but it is really useful.

And for both categories 'amazing & crazy UI' and 'probably useful' is Touchy Weather

The interface is kind of 'out there', but really original and useful once you get to know it.

Potentially useful to check the weather (although I might do that on my phone more easily).

In the category 'crazy but rich user interface', there's QuickTimer.

Keep this bad boy behind a shortcut to always have a timer handy – as soon as you learn the commands to change the timer.

In the category amazing and amazingly detailed watchface there's Carbon by @cr0ybot

This might actually prove useful if you need to keep an eye on the weather. It's an information dense watchface, while also keeping time clearly visible.

In the category silly: have your #pebble sound out synth noises on nice little set of buttons with PEBBLE-TONE.

I just cant figure out how to reduce the volume, and I'm afraid my toddler will love this.

So I just today received my Pebble, and as many who have just received theirs I've been excitedly waiting (for a few months...). To remain in front of the inevitable question my partner will ask – What does it actually do? – I need to prepare a list.

So let's create a list of #pebble silly and/or amazing watchfaces and apps:
