🏗️ Early Summer: Launched my entrepreneurial journey with a sleek Jekyll website at My Information Just Under Glass - www.mijug.net - because who doesn't love static site generators and independent consulting dreams? 💼✨

🦀 Mid Summer: Dove deep into the Rust ecosystem building a RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation) server! 🤖 Explored local AI models and discovered how legacy data can teach new tricks. Rust + AI = Mind blown 🤯

📝 Late Summer: Crafted a custom WordPress theme from scratch and wrestled with Gutenberg blocks. Helped my older sister with her new Florida busineess: Thrive Alternative Medicine 🎨

** Early Winter** Rebuilt Pi5 with Debian 13/Trixie and rpi-image-gen v2 to re-implement Home DNS caching (a multi-year experiment to reduce bandwidth usage and improve privacy).

** Winter Solstice** Make Public Ollama-embedding repository showing knowledge gain in the AI spaces. Start template repository creation for Home DNS example.

🤝 Throughout: Reconnected with amazing colleagues and navigated the "interesting times" of today's business landscape. Networking is everything! 🌐
