Sure! Here's what I do to add an expense from my phone:
1. Open the Drafts App on my iPhone.
2. Type "lfood", which triggers TextExpander with my ledger food expense snippet [1]. I make use of the TextExpander fill-ins feature [2] to automatically set the current date and to give me a list of dropdowns that I can use to change the account, but usually I just leave the default and only fill in the expense amount.
3. Enter the expense amount, select the credit card that I used from a dropdown if it's different from the default.
4. Trigger the 'Save to Ledger' action [3] that I created within the Drafts app [4], which appends the ledger entry to my ledger file on Dropbox.
I created a short gif [5] showing this entire process in action.
I've been using Ledger for years now and with thousands of entries a year. I track investments, income, expenses, and budgeting. For mobile entry, I keep my ledger file on Dropbox and use the Drafts app and TextExpander on my iPhone to quickly append properly formatted ledger entries to the file from my phone, the moment the expense occurs. Every two to four weeks, I spend 10 minutes and use ledger-mode in Emacs to reconcile accounts with online bank / credit card transactions. It works really well and I love the flexibility and long-term portability of keeping my ledger in plain-text.

Sea anchors can be used to steer a sailboat in some situations in the event that the rudder is lost, as one guy demonstrated when he lost his rudder 1609km (1000mi) from Hawaii:
In the mid-ninties, around the time I had just become a teenager, I remember walking down the back corridor of a mall where my parents were leasing a space for their business and hearing a song playing overhead on the mall speakers that really caught my attention. I had no idea what the song was called or who made it, but I really liked it. I remember wishing I had some way to quickly find out, before the song ended, the name of the song and the artist. I remember thinking, "wouldn't it be great if this cell phone in my pocket could somehow tell me the name of this song?"
A decade later I discovered Shazam, and even today, more than a decade after that, Shazam still has a place on my home screen, quickly within reach, helping me discover hundreds of great artists and songs overheard from as many different places. The magic of the experience, and the appreciation for the technology, stem from the memory of that moment in the mid-nineties when I stood under a speaker listening to a song that I might never hear again.
Given the irregular distance between holes and the different angles of the holes, I'd guess something organic. There's still a lot we don't know about even well known fish like sharks, what to talk of fish or marine life that we have yet to discover. Seeing the raised ridge along the entire set of holes makes me wonder if they're from some kind of eggs that hatched after being embedded in the seabed.
It's amazing that there are still so many mysteries like this on Earth.
