Thanks! FYI - I'm not an academic - more like a digital pack rat! Actually, I'm a retired technologist (30 + years of IT projects, support and management). I always kept notebook/journals of informati...

This is not a new tool post but a shoutout from MacSparky (Dave Sparks) concerning Roam and Obsidian. I agree!

Org-Mode resource
