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.
Angry Bunny Club Jigsaw Puzzle
We make a custom jigsaw puzzle each Christmas. This year I also took my collection of Angry Bunny Club NFT’s and created a custom puzzle from it. I created a collage of the various images and ordered both of the puzzles.
I love how it came out! The Bunny images are all 3,000 x 3,000 pixels so there was plenty of resolution to work with. I wasn’t sure how difficult the puzzle would be but it turned out relatively quick to solve. All four of us did it together and finished in about 90 minutes.
I decided to make this puzzle with no specific up or down. This was partially due to the design of the Bunnies, which are all clipped at the chest. By having them go all the way around I could more easily align them all on the outer edge of the puzzle, and then have some in the middle behind the bigger ones.
This puzzle features 18 Angry Bunny Club NFTs, all are ones I hold in my wallet right now. The bunnies included are, in ascending order by ID:
Bunny #338, Bunny #393, Bunny #501, Bunny #519, Bunny #1308, Bunny #1626, Bunny #1688, Bunny #2076, Bunny #2465, Bunny #3069, Bunny #3337, Bunny #3678, Bunny #3680, Bunny #4598, Bunny #4801, Bunny #4926, Bunny #5011, and Bunny #5128.
I’m pretty sure this is the world’s first Angry Bunny Club jigsaw puzzle. 🤩
The Angry Bunny Club has been on a roll lately with active trading driving the floor price up significantly. I dig my collection of 19 bunnies that I’ve accumulated over the last couple of months.
Also floor and inventory stats.
I joined the POAPathon this morning and got my USA POAPathon Holiday Spectacular token! The POAPathon is a 24 hour event featuring holiday POAPs from around the world. 🎄
I’ve been intrigued by NFTs ever since I came upon them. Why?
For as long as computers have existed they have made it easier and cheaper to make perfect copies of things.
NFTs represent the first class of things that are not copyable, at any cost. Truly something new.
Great Christmas tale told in a nine tweet thread.
Happy Holidays! Please enjoy this very bankless holiday tale. (1/9) pic.twitter.com/K3oj8d4vz5

Quantum Mirror at REM5VR
Tammy got us tickets to see the Quantum Mirror exhibit at REM5VR. We’ve been to REM5VR many times for VR games, but this Quantum Mirror is a “transcendent immersive art experience”. It was created by Adrian Stein. We weren’t real sure what to expect at all, and I was very curious.
The exhibit is limited to 6 visitors at a time, and is experienced in two settings. The first is a gallery space with digital art on the walls, and six chairs. After a moment you take a seat and take a VR experience to “upload yourself”. The VR experience was pretty cool. You didn’t walk around, more like you were on a train going through these experiences tied to the art.
Upon completion of the VR experience you then enter the Quantum Mirror. This is a room covered on all sides by mirrors, and at a variety of angles. In the center of the room are three portrait displays playing about a 10 minute loop with audio. There is no interactivity, but the reflections are very engaging. I captured a 30-second segment of the video which shows it best.
It is with a bit of surprise that I have to admit I haven’t explored digital art with any seriousness. Surprising because we have a good amount of art and appreciate it, and I’m obviously into technology, but the two haven’t intersected. This experience was cool and made me want to see more like it.
At the end of the experience you could type a message to yourself in the metaverse. This was a neat touch but lacked clarity on where it went or what happened with it. It would have been cool for that to be somewhere on the web or folded back into the experience for others to see.
Quantum Mirror had a couple of nods to crypto tech, most notably the premier digital art you could purchase also came with two NFTs. This would have been a brilliant use for a POAP token. I was really wishing I could have gotten a Quantum Mirror @ REM5VR POAP token.
Joined the Famous Fox Federation with Fox #7164. I staked it to collect $FOXY tokens. Having fun on Solana.
