Starting day 1 of the Micro.blog photo challenge while we are on a photo workshop in Banff. Day 1: Tree. π·

I added a Pellet Sensor to the Traeger this morning. Good confidence thing to have for long smoke sessions.

612 POAP Challenge: Collect them all!
Way back in the day I loved Geocaching. It was so much fun, particularly before it got commercialized. It was a way of exploring the area around you and finding cool, hidden things. πΊοΈ
When I first found POAPs the capability to claim a POAP for a location was something I wanted right away, and now you can with location drops! I created my very first location POAP and even recorded a video claiming it. Awesome. I wanted to make something with this. π€
Then I connected the dots between the 612 Series NFTs which I have a complete collection of. You may remember I also interviewed Erik Halaas who created it. This was perfect – peanut butter and chocolate moment! β¨
Thus the 612 POAP Challenge was created! π²
If you live in Minneapolis join in and go collect some of these locations. The event runs until Labor Day. I think this will be a fun summer activity! Get the whole family involved on some walks, bike rides, kayaks, and explore the city. I collected my first one this morning! π§
I love that I was able to create an entire activity on the POAP platform. π€©
PS: Please spread the word to others so we can get a bunch of folks playing along!
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 β see the moment! πΆββοΈ

So I’m not sure how far around the lake this guy was going, but walking around 3 miles around a lake dragging a large tire behind you is next level. Impressive stuff! πͺ

Nice morning to do some fishing on Lake Harriet.

Collected POAP 7364397 for Lake Harriet β 612 POAP Challenge.

I’ve been using ChatGPT so much that I hit the limits on my Plus account. I’ve been getting so much value out of it I made the jump to ChatGPT Pro. I’m curious to explore some of the advanced features further. π§
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.
