Ordered a Dappnode Home i732 so that I can run a validator for Gnosis at home. I’m a big fan of POAP and Nifty.ink, both of which run on Gnosis. This seems like the easiest path exploring home staking. If this all goes well I would like to explore home staking Ethereum.
Starting three pork butts for 18 hour cook in the Sous Vides! Finish smoke tomorrow. 🐖💧🔥
Minted Noun Cats
The Noun Cats project was my “gateway” to the Nouns ecosystem. It is the first place where I found these projects embracing completely public CC0 licenses, and I thought the project was really fun. Over a couple of times I ended up minting 8 different Invisibles from the project.
While they were developing the project further they even created a spin-off project for Early Birbs, and I have my set of those too.
The project never “minted out”, so the folks behind it pivoted and recently made it so you can get the Noun Cats that match your Invisibles. I decided to keep my invisibles and mint the cats to go with them. The mint was only available directly via the contract in Etherscan, which I hadn’t done before. But after I crafted my API call the transaction worked fine. I’ve now got my full squad.
Great game today with Minnesota United beating Houston Dynamo 2-1. First half was a slow start but when the actual Dark Clouds arrived over the stadium the United put two in the net in rapid succession! ⚽️
On our bike ride today as we were rounding our way around Lake Harriet and coming home Tyler caught the edge of the trail and crashed on his bike, right in front of me. I then slammed on my brakes trying to not run into or over him and went completely over my handlebars. We both got scrapped up and are nursing some significant road rash. Both of our helmets will need to be replaced. Glad we are super consistent about wearing our helmets. But we are okay and will heal up just fine.
We had a wonderful family bike ride around the three main lakes along with a lunch stop at Punch Pizza.
Ordered a bag of Nouns Coffee. Never would have guessed that to come out of Nouns DAO. ⌐◨-◨
Serene and pretty.
Time for a sunset fire on Pokegama Lake.
Just registered thingelstad.⌐◨-◨ on Noun Name Service. Cool to see that Food Noun 3 already shows my “nounish” name.
It was a perfect day for a 9.2 mile kayak down the Mississippi from Grand Rapids.
We were going with the current so you could paddle as much as you wished, and then take a break and still float right down the river.
Visiting my brother and family at their place. Super nice day on Pokegama Lake.
Delightful breakfast of delicious crepes in the yurt at Hotel Rapids this morning.
The Decemberists “Rise From the Bunkers” tour was great at Surly Brewing Festival Field tonight. Their music is so delightful. 🎶❤️
Zinnias in bloom.
My Mom is helping Mazie get the Tomatoes under control. Only 4 plants but they have all gone MASSIVE! 🍅
Need to declare war on these horrible Beatles going to town on our strawberries! 😲
We had a great time at the MLS All-Star v Liga MX All-Star game tonight at Allianz Field.
What a day! Started with an early wake up in Reykjavik finishing our Iceland trip and ended with a OneRepublic show in St. Paul!
