Welcome!
This is David Wetterau's blog. I live in New York City and work as a Software Engineer at Cursor. I previously worked at Airtable on new user-facing product features, new product verticals, and on all-sorts-of AI things. For many years before that, I worked at Dropbox on the distributed systems that store and sync files and folders for millions of users.

Digitizing my handwritten journal entries
I have journaled every day since April 15th, 2018. Each of these entries is one full page of a Large Moleskin “Classic Notebook”. With my handwriting size, this comes out to around 300 words that I write every day, by hand. In this post, I’ll explain the process that I’ve started to use to covert these handwritten entries into digitized text.
