Notes

Context While I’m not a VR expert by any means, my first experience was around 1995. I have owned the Meta Quest 2, and currently own the Meta Quest Pro and the Apple Vision Pro.

This site is going to start showing more small “notes” that will usually be without a cover image or heavy composition. I’m working on a workflow for keeping notes in Obsidian while easily exporting my notes in one direction from Obsidian to Hugo. As I work through the book Building a Second Brain: A Proven Method to Organize Your Digital Life and Unlock Your Creative Potential by Tiago Forte, these pages will show referential links back and forth to one another. ...
