Self Hosted Period Tracking App For Menstruation 🩸️

Overview

I've been meaning to make this video for a while now as it's a subject im pretty happy about, we took our own stance against company collection of menstrual data and created our own self hosted period application using my database, appsmith, and cloud flare tunnels and now we have complete ownership and control of our data and insights that no company will have access to.

📱️2024 My Top Applications For ADHD 🧠️

Overview

It's been a while since i've made a "top apps ..." video and i've gotten some new ones in the workflow lately. Thunderbird has been ESPECIALLY helpful to me in dealing with the overwhelm that is modern email.

xTiles has been a very unique and interesting alternative to notion in organization, and consolidation of information.

And morgen is of course a timeless classic

Bryan Jenks Homelab Services Tour 2024 🖥️

Overview

I've wanted to make a homelab tour video for a long time, my homelab and what i've learned with it is a project near and dear to me. I have a lot of fun playing with services and automations and building my own apps and custom code, as well as just documenting things and wiring it all together. Home-labbing is FUN, and i love doing it and wanted to share with you what i've done so far in the lab :)

📜️ Zotero Research Paper Workflow | Full Comprehensive Setup Guide 🛠️

Overview

So I've heard that much of my Zotero workflow was still too complex to fathom or setup by others so I have endeavored yet again to make a comprehensive overview video of the process but this time in a sandbox environment with granular setup instructions where appropriate and hoping that this will really open the door for many where this workflow is concerned :)

🌟️ Supercharge Your [[Links]] In Obsidian | Comprehensive Guide 🔗️

PART 1

Overview

The supercharged links plugin is a super awesome lightweight plugin that can be used to display visual flare or additional information on the links in your vault. This plguin can take a rule like "if a note has this tag" and then apply content in a variety of ways.

After making this video i actually realized that if i turned off the plugin nothing happens, i actually wasnt using the plugin in all 🤣️ so i have to make an update video shortly to cover the topic at more length because it will be the same result but with additional functionality and displays of the metadata.

PART 2

Overview

So in the first video it turned out i wasnt using the plugin at all for the effects i thought were attributed to the plugin, rather it was all just CSS the entire time. Now i actually setup the plugin (after this little discovery) and implemented it and fully covered the topic 😅️

📅️ My Fully Automated Daily Note Review System In Obsidian 🤖️

Overview

I have had a fairly robust daily notes system since the early days of my usage of Obsidian. Over time of course this process gets refined and improved. The system i have now is probably the most intentional i've ever been about journaling and reviewing the words of my past self.

I hope there will be some useful nuggets of insight in this video that will help you shape and improve your own system :)

Making A Personal Knowledge Management Dashboard In Obsidian Canvas 🎨️

Overview

I'm still really enjoying canvas a lot even with how simple it is compared to other diagramming tools it really does add an additional edge to the workflow for organizing thoughts and ideas visually as if they were actual note cards spread out on a physical desktop.

That "spread out" and visible all at once nature of canvas is the thing that really makes it appeal to me and is the real value add. So with that element in mind, lets see how a dashboard would look like/function when based in Obsidian Canvas

How I'm Organizing My Autism Research With Obsidian Canvas

This Video

This video was a fun one to make as i've been falling into more effective ways to doing more research type work and as you well know in the doing of the thing, the truth of the act presents itself. It's one thing to say "this is an effective way of using this tool" and another to actually be doing real work with the tool and actually experience pain points and find better optimizations and strategies.

In this video I aim to show you some of the ways i'm actually performing some of my research information consolidation and analysis using Obsidian Canvas and a variety of other tools that i already talk about ad naseum on my channel. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts in the YouTube comments!
