Cold day, but still on a vacation-y trip, so afternoon ice cream from Rave Creamworks!
This Cuyuna Lakes mural by Adam Turman right by Victual (go there) is fabulous.
Victual
We shopped for a bit in Victual in Crosby, MN this morning. The passion of the owners and the quality experience were great. If you are in the area a stop here is required. Many locally sourced products.
Chauvin Trial Concludes
Just under a year ago George Floyd was murdered in police custody under the knee of Derek Chauvin. Today our whole family gathered around as news of a verdict announcement in the murder trial was made just a day after jury deliberation started. We all watched history as a guilty verdict was announced on each of the three charges.
This isn’t the end, but is an important step as our community reckons with racism. I found myself on the verge of tears at the announcement, relieved of some anxiety and hopeful about our ability to learn, get better, and move forward.
I’ve went back to my thoughts on Floyd’s killing and I am so appreciative of the conversations and learning that has occurred. With that said, I’ve also gained a better appreciation for how much work there is to be done.
I think it is time that the city memorialize George Floyd Square, as a tribute to what will be an inflection point toward a better community for all Minnesotans.
I got my second shot of the Pfizer BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine this morning! 💉💉⏳
Many people I know have not felt well after the second dose so I’m feeling hypochondria a bit. Hoping for the best! 🤞
Crypto Allocation (April 2021)
I’ve been building out my approach to crypto. I shared my allocation in March and updated it this weekend.
Notes:
- I’ve been increasing Ethereum to get closer to Bitcoin.
- Bitcoin and Ethereum together are 80%.
- Increased the amount of Cardano as an additional Ethereum-like blockchain.
- Doubled Filecoin, which builds a permanence layer on IPFS.
- Added Curve DAO because of the focus on cost-efficient swapping between stablecoins.
- Added Enjin because of the focus on NFTs.
I’m sharing this as my own notes for any value they may have to others.

We hung The Frame by Samsung today and I am impressed with it. It is discrete. The picture quality is good. It is fun to have different art on it and with the press of a button you can watch a show.
Stopped by Five Watt Coffee for the first time since the pandemic and got an Iced Kingfield, my favorite fancy coffee drink. So good. Thank you Paul for the coffee!
