Obsidian! 1996 called and it wants its database back.

Can't be bothered with email or speak pipe? Text us! It's been quite the month. Jason was pulled over in the Tinny (again), Inger had a mole taken off her foot. We skipped the mailbag in favour of a deep nerd chat about Obsidian starting at 32:51. The discussion gets waylaid part way through by a mutual existential freakout about Claude Opus. It's... a lot. Enjoy! Things we mentioned: Kangaroo time - Winner of the Dance Your PhD competition Be visible or vanish - the book Inger wrote with her colleague Simon Clews PostAc (on Inger's research page) Quit by Annie Duke Mac Sparky Field Guides Building a second brain and PARA from Tiago Forte (and his post on Tags) Markdown explainer An article Inger wrote about Claude One useful thing blog from Ethan Mollick Inger's sample 'coffee Vault' (down these files from Dropbox and point Obsidian at it to open) Marie Kondo's life changing magic of tidying up YAML explainer Marked2 (markdown text convertor) Scrivener Elicit Connected Papers literature review matrix explainer Zotero Got thoughts and feel pinions?
