“Sunshine and Rainbows”, Mazie’s first drawing on Nifty.Ink! I’ve been cajoling her a bit that I think she would find it fun to try, and indeed she did. Within a couple of hours she even sold one!
Turning Red was a good afternoon movie on a cold and rainy Sunday afternoon. I liked the depth of the story, and that the plot is primarily driven through the women in the story. 🍿
Tyler did the MEL Science “Tin Hedgehog” project this morning. It was great to see him learning and having fun with it. I had fun too.🧑🔬
The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent was a really fun movie. The Nicholas Cage playing himself the movie constantly fluxes in this meta between the movie and the story of the movie. It reminded me a little of Being John Malkovich. 🍿
I got my invite code to the Coinbase NFT beta today. I setup my profile and it all worked really easy. The social aspects of commenting on NFT’s and following users is interesting. You should be able to follow Collections too.
CODA was a powerful movie, great story, great acting. Delightful to watch.
All the chatter about Musk buying Twitter and taking it private misses an important point: Twitter failed as a public company.
Far too cold 🥶 and blustery 💨 for a softball doubleheader! 🥎
We had a big exterior project done this fall that finished in the winter. With the snow gone, I offered the kids a bounty to find nails in the yard. They decided to donate the bounty to charity. Proud parent moment.
The dock crew is so fast to put in docks I didn’t even see them doing it! We did wave as they left. 👋
The kids still like to argue about who got the biggest piece of stuff. So, sometimes I remove the debate. I took the 41g.
Not sure what Minnesota did to deserve this “spring”, but can we take it back? Send an apology somewhere? 😐
Support Ukraine via Nifty.Ink 🇺🇦
I have wanted to create my own “ink” on Nifty.Ink and my artistic capabilities are pretty limited. My one talent is block lettering. I also want to keep doing things to support Ukraine, so let’s raise $1,000 to donate directly to Ukraine via crypto.
I’ve minted 50 copies of Support Ukraine hand drawn by me, thingelstad.eth! You can even watch it being drawn by hitting the play button!
Each copy is $10, and I will match that and contribute $20 to Ukraine. If we sell all 50 of these, we’ll raise $1,000!
You get a cool NFT to keep, and we can do a little bit more to support Ukraine in their fight to keep their freedom! 🇺🇦
Notes
- Nifty.Ink runs on the Gnosis blockchain. You will need to connect to it via MetaMask and you will need xDai on Gnosis to purcahse.
- I’m gifting this image to some family members and others. For those, I will cover the full $20 donation.
- I will send the funds to Ukraine via a different blockchain, likely Solana. I will post the transaction here as proof when completed.
ring rang rung by Cats Will Eat You
I recently discovered the work of Cats Will Eat You, a Minnesota artist who has created and published a new, original piece of art every day for the last 15 years. To do anything for 15 years is incredible, but to push your creativity in this way is truly remarkable and impressive. I knew right away I wanted to own a piece in this wide ranging collection and Cats Will Eat You has been minting some of his art as an NFT. I’m now the proud owner of “ring rang rung”.
I liked the art as well as the communication metaphors embedded in it. You can also use Artivive and see the creation process. The artist also let me know that “ring rang rung” was featured in the 2022 SXSW NFT Gallery.
I got my Sideline Behavior certificate from Soccer Parenting and The Sideline Project! The information about distracting behavior was more useful than I expected. Take the pledge!
I have been very impressed with all the innovations the Famous Fox Federation has done. I suspect the continued growth in the “floor price” is a reflection of that.
