I’m very happy with these Ukrainian Tryzub Trident pins that I ordered from ShopUA 1000. Made in Ukraine. πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦

I’m super excited to see Ben Edwards @alttext now on micro.blog! Ben has a done a bunch but in my mind he’s always one of the folks that got minnestar off the ground. He was emailing me over the weekend about blogging stuff β€” I think you’re gonna like it Ben! Picture from Minnebar 2009. πŸ™Œ

I would like to create blog posts from some workouts. It seems like something that Shortcuts should make possible but I’ve not seen anything to make it easier to do. Is anyone familiar with something that does this? I’d like a map and statistics in the posts.

Months ago when I signed up to host the April IndieWeb Carnival I thought it was a great idea and now I’m finding myself atypically anxious about choosing a good topic! 😬

LEGO and PokΓ©mon announced that they are launching a multi-year partnership in 2026. This is going to mint an incredible amount of revenue for both companies. πŸ’° Consider how many of these sets will be bought and never even opened for collectors. 😲

The LLM functions I’ve built for the Weekly Thing have worked really well. So well in fact that I’m redoing my Shortcuts to move from simple calls to the ChatGPT app to using the OpenAI API directly. This has the added benefit of additional fine tuning including optimized system messages. πŸ‘¨β€πŸ’»

The new metal Loon sculpture at Allianz Field is impressive in person. Cool addition to the stadium.

Today’s United v. LA Galaxy game was surprisingly nice for March soccer in Minnesota! We had bright sun and were actually warm. My friends Jim, Alex, and Quinn joined me. We got a tie out of the game and it was close the whole time. ⚽️

The pizza at Boludo is so incredible. Delicious and unique!
