Hi! My name is Callum, aka wanderloots✨ Welcome to my Channel
I am a photographer, artist, and educator specializing in Astro, wildlife, mindfulness, emerging technologies, and intellectual property 📖
As an intellectual property lawyer & patent agent, I am fascinated at the exploration of knowledge and the use of tools (including AI) to help augment our knowledge systems. Note: none of my videos or information is to be considered legal, patent, or financial advice.
This channel contains a mix of my art (timelapses and mindfully calming videos) and my how-to tutorials on note-taking (Obsidian), blockchain/web3 (Manifold), and AI (NotebookLM & Adobe Firefly).
I also write about these topics in my newsletter: Recalibrating 🧭 paragraph.xyz/@wanderloots.eth?referrer=wanderloot…
I hope you enjoy!
Breathing life into astrophotography ✨
Fusing mindfulness and art 😌

New Video ✨ One of my favourite AI tools, Adobe Firefly, just got a huge upgrade to their image 4 model AND video generation is now available to everyone!
I have so much fun generating images that match my imagination, and now I'm able to actually bring those ideas to life. I recommend testing it out and seeing what you can create from your imagination 😊

New Video ✨ Google AI Studio is one of the best AI tools I've come across for exploring technical topics & knowledge bases. I've used it to build out 2 apps, customize my digital garden, and build a dynamic image generator for my website's open-graph images 👀
Let me know what you think in the comments of the video when you check it out 🫡 Also, let me know if there's anything you'd like to see me build with it!

In my latest video: Feynman's Favourite Problems (How To Turn Ideas --> Action https://youtu.be/Mtw9zmK6RK8), I created a list of my favourite topics. I recommend watching the video for more context, but I'm curious: what topics do you want me to research & explore more as part of my Practical Obsidian & NotebookLM series? 👀

New Video ✨ Based on the feedback from many (hundreds! 🤯) of you, here is a video that shows more practical Obsidian Use, along with NotebokLM Research (Discover Sources) & Mind Mapping.
I use these tools to build out an intuition filter for my personal knowledge management system (my second brain). By constructing a framework of my favourite problems, it becomes MUCH easier to identify why new ideas/concepts resonate with me AND how I can turn those ideas into action.
Would love to hear your thoughts in the video comment section!

Thank you everyone for your feedback in my latest polls 🫡
By overwhelming request, you’re looking for more practical obsidian workflows 📝
I spent the last few days working on the next video in my practical obsidian series, that began with the Feynman technique video.
For those asking for NotebookLM tutorials, I’ve included something for you too 👀
I’ll be publishing the next video tomorrow, so I recommend watching the first part if you haven’t yet ✨

It's here! How To Run Local AI With Obsidian 🤖 Copilot Plugin + LM Studio 📝
In this video, I walk through how to set up a local AI model (LLM & Text Embedding) AND how to connect that locally running model to Obsidian Copilot & Smart Connections Plugins.
These local models help you surface insights with related notes (suggested links) and let you chat with your vault. Copilot specifically has a "Vault Q&A" where you can ask questions to your vault, that is surprisingly powerful.
I use LM Studio in this video and I'm writing a guide that will explain how you can also use Ollama (it's just a bit more involved).
Please let me know if you have any questions/feedback by commenting on the video itself 😊

New Video ✨ There is a New NotebookLM Feature: Discover Sources 📚 AI Deep Research 🔍
This feature brings in a "deep research" element to NotebookLM, which gives it a huge update to how it operates. I highly recommend checking this feature out, as it has already saved me hours of normal research (similar to how Perplexity works).
How do you use this new feature? I'd love to hear in the comments!
