+## History of Travels
+
+### 2021 May 09
+
+Began the journey after a news headline informed me that the Windows API was now rust accessible.
+https://blogs.windows.com/windowsdeveloper/2021/05/06/announcing-rust-for-windows-v0-9/
+
+This triggered me to watch a few rust videos on youtube, and even read a rust book on "Kindle Unlimited". These left me intrigued and thinking it'd be fun to update my media pipeline with some rust tooling.
+
+Starting the journey on my Arch Linux system despite the lead-in with the windows announcement.
+
+#### Cross Compilation
+
+Today I learned how to do cross compilation, which is super nice since my use cases find me potentially wanting to execute my code on either x64 linux, armv7, or windows.
+
+1. List targets with: 
+
+    `> rustc --print target-list`
+
+2. Add the desired target
+
+    `> rustup target add <target_name>`
+
+3. Add (if not already installed) the cross package
+
+    `> cargo install cross`
+
+4. Cross Build the project
+
+    `> ~/.cargo/bin/cross build --target <target_name>`
