Worked with OpenAI Codex this morning and redesigned the website for POAP2RSS. It gave a clean structure as requested that I could fill in and make better.
I decided to declare POAP2RSS officially launched. It seemed fitting for Independence Day!
How do you celebrate creating a service to make POAP activity available in RSS? You make a POAP of course! Now drop ā POAP2RSS Created! š„
I cleaned up the RSS items that POAP2RSS outputs this morning. I decided to remove the titles on the items and add the POAP images which makes it great for adding to a micro.blog timeline. Now I can share my POAP claims automatically!
Collected POAP 7386503 for POAP2RSS Created.
I’ve created my first project using AI to write nearly all of the code with me!
Introducing POAP2RSS!
For years I’ve wanted to get updates for POAP events and users in RSS. Now with the help of AI I’ve created it!
Still cleaning to do. Check out the code on Github.
Just used ENS Fairy for the first time to send halaas.eth to Erik Halaas of 612 Series fame! I’d been wanting to try ENS Fairy out and it worked amazing. Once he sets his reverse record the 612 POAP Challenge Leaderboard will reflect halaas.eth too.
I’ve supported the Electronic Frontier Foundation for over twenty years. I am excited to have this 35th anniversary coin, number 0061, as a keepsake. If only they did POAPs. š¤©

Collected POAP 7379713 for Creating Community with POAP ā MN Blockchain.
I added a new award to the 612 POAP Challenge ā the Explorer! This token is given to players that are the first to mint a location in the event. I sent it to the 8 players that have been the first to claim 31 of the 33 locations. There are only two more chances to get this award!
Collected POAP 7378481 for 612 POAP Challenge - Explorer.
Love that @ericmwalk did a run with Strava to get some 612 POAP Challenge locations today! Brilliant! Nice collection of 7 locations so far.
IndieWeb is Punk: Wear It!
I published IndieWeb is Punk and it resonated with folks.
Jim Mitchell created the shirt! Go ahead and get one!
I wanted to make a POAP to go with it so Jim sent me the image files and here we are!
For fun I asked ChatGPT to create the description for this POAP in the voice of Henry Rollins of Black Flag speaking to bloggers of today!
You walked away from the corporate feed trough. You ripped your voice out of the algorithm’s claws. That took guts. That took conviction. That’s punk!
The IndieWeb isn’t some polished product you buy with a tap. It’s you, your words, your server, your turf. It’s raw HTML and full-throated autonomy. This isn’t about metrics or brand deals – it’s about owning your damn voice. If you’ve ever looked at those social media sugar traps and said, “No thanks, I’m not a product,” then congratulations – you’re part of the resistance.
We need digital buttons, badges like the ones we used to stab into our jean jackets – statements of identity, rebellion, belonging. This POAP? It’s not just a collectible. It’s a battle patch. A symbol. A nod to the hard-headed, soft-hearted punks building the web they want to live in.
It started with Jamie Thingelstad screaming the truth from his blog: IndieWeb is Punk. Then others joined the chorus and even joined in voice, and Jim Mitchell did what punks do – he made a damn shirt.
So slap that badge on your digital vest. Wear it like blood, sweat, and static.
You’re not just on the web – you are the web!
Want a POAP? Contact me and I’ll send you a claim code!
Iām going to be sharing my love of POAPs at the Minnesota Blockchain meetup on June 30th ā Creating Community with POAPs! Will include 612 POAP Challenge as an example and will also be sharing a POAP for the evening of course!
Today Tammy and Tyler completed a 26-mile walk around Lake Geneva, Wisconsin. They started at 6:21 AM and completed at 2:58 PM. Epic. I thought it deserved a POAP ā Lake Geneva Loop Legends! So very impressive. š„¾
Stone Arch Bridge Fest
Today was Mazie’s birthday and one of the things she decided we should do is the Stone Arch Bridge Festival. It had been a very long time since we had been to this and I was really impressed by the size of it. There were so many artists and vendors. It felt to me like it had a particular Minnesota flare to it, with a lot of art that was locally inspired. We spent about four hours but could have spent the entire day there.
Some artists that caught our eye:
Mazie bought a piece of art with her own money ā her very first art purchase from H. Ward Mileswww.hwardmiles.com.
I also really liked these very local artist creating location pieces. Maybe I could get one of them to participate in a future year of the 612 POAP Challenge. š
We grabbed some switchel from Hobby Farmer on our way heading back home!
Got a recursive selfie while collecting the Grain Belt Sign for the 612 POAP Challenge with the family (see moment).
Favorite quote from Mazie @mthingelstad : “Why is this actually kind of fun?” Love it. š
I dig the design of this new Coinbase One card. On the waitlist! 4% rewards in Bitcoin ā awesome!
