obsidian looks like something I have been looking for.. I'm new to this "second brain", commonplace thing but I'm wondering if anyone can recommend whether I should commit to learning this and evolving with it or whether i should find a different system

This is really just a note taking/ journal app for me.

I'm a diesel technician by trade and have loads of information I like to keep and sift through

I like to dabble in programming - so more information

I like reading random things - more information

I have a roommate and we have some absolutely golden conversations and I would love a place to store some of that commentary

I'm big into adventure and outdoors.. I would like a place to record my thoughts and experiences

etc. etc.

​

but what I am stuck between is how do i make this portable if I am not near a computer, or my computer - or my work computer?

Do I record information through the day and then dedicate some time to enter it all in? do I pay for the subscription and hope that the service never folds?

In the past I have used my voice recorder, a paper journal, a separate email account but everything gets lost - sidenote - I HATE typing on on iphone .. my retarded fingers create jumbled up messes

this seems excellent but it seems only if I carry around my personal laptop everywhere and bring it out on the spot
