Christmas Gingerbread Houses for 2022! 🎄
I think one of the most challenging parts of crypto adoption is dealing with wallets. Making them easier-to-use is key. I couldn’t pass up experiencing the new Ledger Stax designed by the famous iPod designer Tony Fadell. Pre-ordered! ✅
Cheering for Argentina 🇦🇷 with Hector at Brit’s Pub as they won on penalty kicks against Netherlands 🇳🇱 in the 2022 World Cup will be a moment I remember forever. 🤩⚽️
You win some, you lose some. What a crazy World Cup! ⚽️
With Croatia knocking out Brazil (what!?), my EthSports World Cup 2022 hopes are done for.
We had an amazing evening at the Concordia Christmas Concert “Star of Bethlehem, Lead Us to Peace”. Fabulous performance.

Telegram is very popular in Ukraine, and I’ve become a regular user of it to keep in touch with friends in Ukraine as well as some crypto related groups. Telegram has the distinction of being one of very few indepdently owned cross-platform messaging services. I also signed up for Telegram Premium when it came out because I wanted to support the product. This update from Durov on Premium is pretty incredible.
Telegram Premium, which we introduced just 5 months ago, quickly surpassed 1 million subscribers and has become one of the most successful examples of a social media subscription plan ever launched. While it still represents just a fraction of Telegram’s overall revenue, Telegram Premium is growing steadily every day, and one day may even rival our ads.
In a matter of 5 months they’ve added a $60M recurring revenue stream.
Burn test for the small candles I made this weekend. Worked great. Scent strength is good.
First attempt at making smaller 2.5 oz Wicky Thing Candles. Also experimenting with a bold Double True North scent. Small vessels are harder to fill, and you have to go quick since the wax starts setting fast. Would be interesting to heat the vessels before the pour.
Early Sunday morning. Fresh cup of delicious coffee. Fire started in fireplace. Everyone else still sleeping. Gratitude.
It was another delightful evening with The New Standards and friends at the 2022 Holiday Show. This is now one of the key traditions of our Christmas season.
Ticket to Paradise
Tammy and I went to Ticket to Paradise at the newly renovated Edina Theatre today. It was a funny movie, enjoyable, and very predictable. Pretty much exactly what you would expect, which is great if that is what you are looking for. We enjoyed it. 🍿
Tammy and I went to a movie at the newly remodeled Edina Theatre today. The Shining treatment to the 2nd floor bar area is awesome. I had to use the photo opportunity at the typewriter. “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.”
Watched the recording of the USA v Netherlands World Cup game. Sad to see the USA leave the tournament but we played a tough game and had chances. Be back again in four years! ⚽️🇺🇸⚽️🇺🇸⚽️
Delicious coffee in St. Paul this morning at Yellowbird Coffee Bar.
I reserved three Ethereum Name Service (ENS) names for Minnestar: minnestar.eth, minnebar.eth, and minnedemo.eth. Minnestar doesn’t have a need for them today, but I think they will in the future. I’ll have them over in my thingelstad.eth ENS collection in the meantime. 🤓
