20 Years of Olson Family Vacation

This weekend we are celebrating 20 years of Olson Family Vacations. In 2004 Tammy’s side of the family decided to have everyone get together for a long weekend, and that started the tradition that has been going on two decades now.

Olson Family Vacation 20 Years

Every year the family responsible for finding a location and planning the weekend rotates, with everyone having hosted four vacations at this point.

To celebrate two decades of Olson Family Vacations we decided to make a special shirt for everyone.

The back of the shirt records the location of every vacation.

Ekeko, a new artist on Nifty Ink, is a great example of what I dig about this site. It is like I get to see into the artists notebook and follow along in the creative process. Nifty Ink feels like going to a permanent Art Fair.

We watched A Man Called Otto tonight and everyone thought it was an incredible story and engaging acting. Didn’t want the movie to end when it was over. Recommended! 🍿

Hosting Minnebar 17: Creating Digital Community with POAPs

I’m going to host a session at Minnebar 17 on Creating Digital Community with POAPs! It is my first time back to hosting sessions at Minnebar in several years, and I can’t wait to share all the fun you can have with POAPs in your projects and communities. If this is interesting, sign up on the Sessionizer and indicate that you might attend this!


Now that you’ve claimed your Minnebar 17 POAPs, let’s talk about how you can use POAP to build digital community for on your own!

On June 7, 2021 I claimed my very first POAP and was intrigued. I quickly developed a love of these digital tokens that allow me to collect and remember fun events. I’ve created over 40 different POAP events for hobbies, personal use, family events, and professional.

We will cover:

  • What is a POAP?
  • Examples of POAPs and how they can be used.
  • Review the Minnebar 17 POAP distribution.
  • Discuss additional capabilities and applications built around POAP.
  • We will even create a POAP in the event so you see how it is done.

POAPs are an incredible asset to create digital communities, and there is a vibrant ecosystem built around them to enhance and add utility.
