Crazy toolchain for journal: org-mode is forever

I love it.

I have a similar sort of chain with my reading list. I first started keeping a list of books I read in a composition notebook organized by author. When I got my first computer—one of those Compaq “portables”—around 1982 or 83, one of the first pieces of software I bought was a flat file database program. I transcribed my reading list into the database. In the almost 40 years since then I’ve transferred that ever growing list from computer to computer, database program to database program. Always as a CSV file. Right now it resides in Airtable.
