Hey everyone! I am so sorry it has been a hot second. I have been working hard on a concept the past few weeks. It has really taken most of my time. I have not forgotten my other passions, but they all need to take a breath. A few weeks ago I had a thought and that thought bloomed into a soft and fuzzy reality.

I have played with various automotive concepts in the past. None of them ever doing anything or going anywhere but I learned a lot from each one. I recently had a idea to help the shop that I quickly realized had real potential, but pretty heavy risk. The risk is certainly manageable though.

So for the past few weeks I have been writing a proposal for corporate on this concept. Please be patient while I wrap this up. I have sent the latest version to several family and friends. I plan to send it up the chain by the end of the week. Exciting!

As for the Music Player, it is still alive. I am still having doubts and concerns around music rights. I certainly do not want to create something that puts me at risk. Fact is, from my research, the entire concept is a risk factor. I just need to work a solution, and I will, just gimme a second. I love that player.

I have two other projects that will be worked as well. One was started just a few months ago and is a lot of fun. Make it as a training resource for my wife’s work. She seemed intrigued by the concept, but paid little attention to the demo. Granted it was more or less a chatbot, but it was a chatbot that graded you on how well you sold that thing you were selling. So much fun to play with. I have been trying to get the script into it so it can better train, not just grade.

Other thing I found this week! I installed the Gemini CLI tool. It put Gem at my fingers just like Claude! Now I can have Gem help me with the studio and Claude can focus on the projects. The markdown files I created for Claude are working well with the workflow so far. When I start Claude I type “qclockin” and he will check the updates and reminders to get the overall picture. I love it. That may change with Gem in the picture. I will play with it some more. I will keep you posted.

Anywho, I need to head out for the day job. Back to this tonight. Of course I will take the laptop with but I often can’t find the time to make progress. That is all part of the challenge though isn’t it. Hope everyone has a great day.

Sorry this was not a actual article. More of a long note, but I really wanted to catch you guys up. Keep moving forward guys and gals.
