It was great to join the Twin Cities Business Women in Leadership event and for SPS Commerce to be recognized as well! The data and stories shared from the panel of women leaders was interesting and insightful. Checkout Moving Beyond ‘Firsts’ for more.

Two days ago it was 87 °F, actually hot. Today cold, windy, and snowing. 🤷‍♂️

For a technologist, I can think of no better way to spend $20 than a month of experimentation with ChatGPT Plus.

For another $20 the second best is to get a little Ethereum and DAI, create a wallet, and learn how to buy a $1 NFT on NiftyInk.

Voted for GIP-82: Gnosis DAO co-fund a community owned forest. I like all the aspects of this project and using a DAO as the organizing entity is very aligned with the potential that I see in DAOs.

I’ve been searching for a super simple way to sign strings of text with my Ethereum wallet and share that proof with anyone online and generally the options have been terrible. I had resigned myself to having to use PGP signatures. And then I found Signatorio which does exactly what I wanted! 👏

It was great to see Aoife O’Donovan perform Bruce Springsteen’s “Nebraska” at the Turf Club tonight. 🎶

We are going to Brandi Carlile’s Mothership Weekend — gonna be great! 🎶

The ice is nearly gone on Lake Harriet, and the north shore of the lake was like a giant slushie with small chunks of ice. As the waves tossed them around they made the coolest tinkling noises, like millions of pieces of glass clinking together.

Doubled my exercise volume for the last 15 weeks. 💪

2022 Minnesota Aspirations in Computing Award Ceremony

It was great to join the Aspirations in Computing annual award ceremony and celebrate the impressive accomplishments of these young women. We are also excited to welcome four award winners to internships with TeamSPS this summer! 👏

See Aspirations Awards events from 2016, 2019, 2020, 2021, or 2024.

Attended a presentation of the American Service (also see American Service in Ukraine) from Aswar Rahman. What they are doing to help Ukrainians that are trying to get to America and get established is very impressive! 🇺🇦➕🇺🇸

Fun seeing The Super Mario Bros. Movie tonight! I thought the movie was a lot of fun. I enjoyed how they brought the characters to life. 🍿

Happy Easter from the Thingelstad Family! 🐣

Easter Bunny partnered with MrBeast this year and brought all the Feastables for us to try! 🐣🍫

Watching the 120th edition of Paris-Roubaix through the Trouée d’Arenberg.

Tammy and I had a great evening at the Tina Schlieske show at The Dakota tonight. It was my favorite show of hers ever, but I’ve only seen her about eight times compared to Tammy’s 100 plus! It was a rocking show too! 🤩🎶

Digging my new Roll Bicycle C:1 City Bike from Tangletown Bike Shop. I’ve got a bunch of bikes, but I wanted to get a simple city bike to ride around for fun. This perfectly fit the bill, and the folks at the bike shop were great.

I liked the contrast of the trees and organic waiting to bloom now that the snow is gone with the concrete and graffiti.

Nice Saturday morning in St. Paul: Hot Hands for delicious Chicken Pot Pie. Roots Roasting for a delightful cup of coffee. A nice walk in Hidden Falls Regional Park.

Complete Collection of 612 Series

One of my favorite NFT projects is the 612 Series by Erik Halaas of StayNftyMpls. I like that it is a local project, made by a local artist, and the landmarks are nearly all places that I have been to and have distinct memories of.

I decided that I wanted to get a complete collection of all 32 landmarks.

The rarest one of these is Al’s Breakfast, which there are only 2 of, so it is unlikely there will be any other complete collections of this series.
