Early morning frost on the cattail marsh by County Road 11.

Morning run to MacDaddy’s Donut Garage in Ironton! Bringing back breakfast for the group. 🍩

Big Dipper. It is really wild to me that I could get this with my iPhone, handheld. Editing in Darkroom was critical.

Tasty beer flight at Cuyuna Brewing.

The Oura Ring detected I was sick before I did. This is what my 2nd round of COVID looked like as it started. It also noted elevated sleeping heart rate.

What must be the worst holidays for dogs: Independence Day and loud fireworks, Halloween and frequent doorbell ringing.

Happy Halloween! Thingelstad pumpkins for 2022!

I decided to give Reddit another try. In 2015 I deleted my account. Reddit hasn’t clicked with me, but I want to give it another go. I created a r/WeeklyThing community, which I think could be interesting there. I’ve found r/candlemaking fun. 🙂

Cats Will Eat You posed a question on Twitter that I found interesting:

What’s the easiest/free way to validate someone owns a wallet address?

Easiest way to do this that I know is to have the person sign a message with the address and send it to you. I used MyCrypto Sign Message to connect to my wallet and sign a message. This gives a signature:

{
  "address": "0x2BdA946a7740b1dDB0fd5C226819170c4DD15720",
  "msg": "This message is from thingelstad.eth!",
  "sig": "0x0827e88dce80cc03769aa34005f1d693be0247aecd433b49d6fa068df9965bde20047da38ac4aa0e51b6b914fd39b225843fa938817a0ced0a04b47a55b8b99e1c",
  "version": "2"
}

Take that message and use the Verify Message tool and confirm that it was signed by that wallet. 🪄

Since upgrading to macOS Ventura I can no longer launch Safari using LaunchBar. I’m constantly launching the wrong thing. I don’t get why LaunchBar wont index Safari. Works same as always for every other app. 😬

The Duplicates and Merging feature in the latest version of Photos 8.0 is really nice. I’ve wanted a utility to do this for years and so far it works exactly how I would want it to.

I first got COVID 664 days into the pandemic, and 294 days later I tested positive today, twice. This time feels very different than last time. I’m hoping it passes quick. I’m also isolating from the family since everyone else is negative so far. 🤞😷
