Uploaded Programming by Pixel clips to my YouTube channel in case I run into significant problems rendering my own MP4 files.
Updated the blog.models.Post Django Model so that date_published and date_modified were both able to be altered (and changed the publish date for Programming by Pixels to yesterday)
Added a new category for the Post object called Series that I can potentially use for projects that aren't just one-off analyses or side projects
Created a README.md file for the programming by pixels GitHub repo that included some example videos of the different algorithms
Wrote an Amazon review of the pixel matrix including some of my videos to potentially advertise my own website (though I think it was taken down).
Finished rough outline for Homelab is Where the Heart Is
Collected necessary images for Homelab is Where the Heart Is
Updated Homelab diagram using an online diagram maker
Created the side panel image and featured image art for the post

Configured a work phone so I can leave my daily phone off (far less distracting)
Continued writing Programming by Pixels (may take more time than I thought, I want to re-work some of the scripts so that the code isn't embarassing)
Established a Alias Script for recording videos and images with libcam on the raspberry pi, allowing me to use commands like capvid and cappic to capture videos and images respectively.
