I am branching out from full-stack web design & development to some deeper backend topics especially Machine Learning. There is a steep learning curve that will keep me busy for a while.

The specific project I'll be applying these skills toward is a bit more nebulous, but I'm particularly interested in generative systems for text and images.

Simple "email this link to me" service.

If I find something interesting, I want to be able to click a button (chrome extension/bookmarklet) that will extract the text from that page, format it nicely and email it to me (preferably to a separate Gmail label).

I can then read it from my email client (iOS/Android email app) during my commute.

I don't want the overhead of a complete app like Evernote or Pocket.

This sounds like something i would use.

I am still plugging away on my snail simulation. Motivation comes and goes, but if I try to work on anything else I just go back to wanting to work on snails.

I love that you have a snail project that's moving at a... measured pace. What exactly are you simulating?

EDIT: Never mind, Googled for "snail simulation" and found an old comment of yours explaining it. Looks cool!
