+## The Hook
+
+What do I write on my first post under the "Tech Posts" section of this blog? It's gotta be something
+tech related... And the only thing on my mind is this blog made with Jekyll. So I'll write a little
+bit about my setup and Jekyll!
+
+## How these pages were built
+
+Shout-out to [Chad Baldwin][chadbaldwin.net], who's blog I came across when I started searching on how to
+get this Jekyll thing up off the ground. He created a really cool bootstrapping github template that I
+planned on using, but I like to understand tools by messing with them myself.
+
+His site was the inspiration for this one!
+
+So I jumped over to [Jekyll's Install][jekyll-install] and got it installed on my Mac.
+
+Speaking of my local machine, I do nearly all of my work on a steeply discounted Apple M1 Pro I picked up
+right when the M2 Pro released.
+
+![Image of Directory]({{site.url}}{{site.baseurl}}/assets/LvdGYAG.jpg)
+
+In the spirit of open source, I've been cross referencing Chad's blog
+and the official Jekyll documentation.
+
+Once I got everything installed, I kicked off the process with `gem install jekyll` and
+got to creating!
+
+## Building the Blog
+
+As soon as I had jekyll installed, I ran `bundle exec jekyll serve`. This created
+a _site and .jekyll-cache and started serving my site locally.
+
+I quickly found myself in over my head at this point, and went through the step by step
+tutorial available [on jekyll's docs page](https://jekyllrb.com/docs/step-by-step/01-setup/)
+
+From there, I created a _layouts folder and set up the format
+I wanted by default (default.html), and for my home page (home.html).
+
+[The layout docs are right here](https://jekyllrb.com/docs/step-by-step/04-layouts/)
+
+![Image of Directory]({{site.url}}{{site.baseurl}}/assets/44wMq0Z.png)
+
+I followed the instructions in the Blogging section of the step-by-step and took some
+inspiration from Chad's repository, and separated my posts into personal and tech.
+
+As of this post, that's where I am now!
+
+I'll be updating the site, and everything (including all my commits and history) will be
+available [in the github repository that serves this site!](https://github.com/StevenPG/coding-steve)

+## Eli, the three legged cat
+
+![Image of Eli]({{site.url}}{{site.baseurl}}/assets/jVNLPaR.jpg)
+
+My wife and I have a BUNCH of cats, but our oldest boy cat is 14
+and just survived a battle with a cancerous tumor in his leg.
+
+A month of late night vet visits and over a year of secondary chemotherapy
+and he is finally cancer free!
+
+Unfortunately, the result was a very agitated three legged cat.
+
+A few months later though, he's happy and energetic again. Sometimes 
+I wonder if he ever remembers having four legs. He's adapted to it surprisingly well.
+
+![Picture of Three Legged Cat]({{site.url}}{{site.baseurl}}/assets/ILGJD3b.jpg)
+
+(Wilson is making an appearance in the image above)
+
+So ever since the rounds of chemo (where we had to leave Eli at a vet for hours at a time)
+he's become a lot more... needy.
+
+Unfortunately, as a software developer I spend most of my time every day locked in my office
+working or gaming. For the past few years, I get up every 10-30 minutes to let
+Eli into the room or out of the room. Sometimes it's so he can use the bathroom, sometimes it's so
+he can eat some food or drink water, and other times I think it's just to remind me
+that he controls me.
+
+So I started looking into getting a microchip reading cat door. The reviews for all of the reasonably priced
+doors were terrible... so we ended up getting this: [SureFlap Microchip Pet Door](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B009NH6NR0)
+
+No affiliate links here, odds are this blog will never earn a dime, but I don't mind advertising things that work!
+
+Speaking of dimes, this door costs MANY. But it's been working perfectly.
+
+It's taken Eli a few days to figure it out, but he now cries for a few moments to see if he can command me to
+open the door for him. If I don't respond, he pushes his little nose through the door (in or out) and jumps inside.
+
+I can tell he's proud of himself afterward, because he acts a lot more energetic than when I used to just let him in myself.
+
+The most important part about this door though, is that only the two or three cats that can be trusted (not to destroy everything)
+are registered via microchip to get into the office.
+
+I occasionally spot the other cats peeking in, jealous of the special portal that only allows in select creatures. It has to
+appear as magic to them, and I know some of them have attempted to open the door, only to find it locked and unable to be opened.
+
+![Image of Cat peeking through cat door]({{site.url}}{{site.baseurl}}/assets/EZb9cQ7.jpg)
+
+Thankfully, our objective has been complete. Eli has total freedom to enter and exit the office all day long. It always
+impresses me how technology can be creatively used for functional purposes outside of the originally intended purpose.
+
+What's meant to be a life-saving measure to get an animal back home when they escape (or are let out to roam) can be used
+in an automated way to enable functionality. 
+
+It's like my cat has an office badge, and it's crazy convenient!
