Welcome to Topher's Notes
I use Obsidian to manage everything from projects, people, journaling, and general note taking. This here website is my own little digital garden, a collection of notes from my Obsidian vault that I've made public. Iโm inspired by many others who talk about the benefits of learning in public. The goal in publishing this is to encourage myself to take more and better notes. My brain is all over the place so it goes without saying this may be messy, but feel free to click around!
Due to the nature of some of these notes not every link will be reachable, but I'll do my best to continue to share what I can!
Below are some jumping off points:
- Be sure to check out the ๐ Writing Journal to keep up with my writing journey.
- See what books I'm reading on my ๐ Bookshelf
- Learn some more about this Obsidian vault of notes, I call it ๐ง My Vault (homage to Sid from The Incredible Toon Machine)
- Use ๐บ Maps, ๐จ๐ปโ๐พ Greenhouse, ๐ Library, ๐ฅ Sources to explore
- Use the backlinks on each page to navigate to related notes
Elsewhere:
- Check out Ducks Films to see my videography work and hire me
- Check out TopherGroenink.com to see some of my older work
- You can find a bunch of cool things from around the web that Iโve saved, like videos, photos, art, funny stuff, etc. in my Cosmos and Raindrop collections.
- Feel free to shoot me a message on Instagram or Discord @toph.g if you want to talk!
