+## Personal
+
+This month I received a RaspberryPi 3B as a birthday present. The Pi, as some people call it, is a small single-board
+computer that has tons of use cases. My initial plan was to use it as a home media server but realized that it doesn't
+meet the minimum system requirements to run Jellyfin effectively. Additionally, I don't yet have a proper power supply
+for the Pi, so it is running underpowered.
+
+I also considered using the Pi to host some of the applications I'm currently running on a VPS. The services are
+intended for personal use and only accessible via [Tailscale](https://tailscale.com/) so it will be cheaper to host them
+myself. However, I decided to postpone the migration until I get a proper power supply for the Pi
+
+Instead, I decided to setup a [Directus](https://directus.io/) instance on the RaspberryPi. Directus describes itself as
+an open source backend to build anything or everything. I've been using it at my job as a headless
+<abbr title="Content Management System">CMS</abbr>. However, I don't get the chance to use all of its features. I want
+to explore its potential as a Backend-as-a-Service, so I'll be using it for prototyping some personal projects.

+## Professional
+
+I've been working with Angular for the last few months and it hasn't been the best experience. However, there are a
+couple of new project coming in that will be using other frameworks. I cannot wait to start working on them.
+
+One of the new projects has many requirements and few complex features. I've been having meetings to give some feedback
+on the UI design and to discuss some of the implementation details to ensure that all necessary features are accounted
+for.
+
+To round things off, I've had limited time to code outside of work but I hope this changes in the following weeks. One
+of my side projects is nearing completion but I haven't given myself enough time to finish it. I'll be aiming to wrap
+things up next month and sharing more details about it in a dedicated blog post. In the meantime, stay tuned for
+updates.
