Forays into blockchain, NFTs and POAPs live here. I write about minting POAP tokens at family events, celebrating Ethereum’s 10‑year anniversary by creating an NFT and even using monitoring services to keep my POAP feeds up and running.
Screen recording at Lake Harriet claiming the very first POAP of the 612 POAP Challenge!
Finished 4.05 mile walk in 73.1 minutes (18.05 min/mile). It was a delightful morning for a walk with great views and feats of strength. I also collected the very first POAP of the 612 POAP Challenge to officially kick off a summer project — see the moment! 🚶♂️
Collected POAP 7364397 for Lake Harriet — 612 POAP Challenge.

I created my very first location-based POAP. Our “Peanuts Tree” is a popular spot on Cannon Lake and you can now mint a POAP if you visit it. I’m going to place a QR code by it so visitors can get more info. Will anybody do it? I don’t know, but it is fun either way. See screen recording of mint.
