This is a great idea! I've been using text docs like this for a while, but the problem that keeps happening to me is I go open the file to add something to it, and get distracted by reading the stuff in the file and forget what I was about to add!

I'm going to try this CLI method since it'll be impossible to read old stuff and get distracted while trying to add something.

Here's my entry in my bash profile:

    log() {
      echo >> ~/Dropbox/NotationalVelocity/$*.txt ;
      date >> ~/Dropbox/NotationalVelocity/$*.txt ;
      cat >> ~/Dropbox/NotationalVelocity/$*.txt ;
    }
We'll see how this goes!
