After following Tyler to Pokémon TCG Pocket I decided to also try one of his favorite games — Clash Royale. I’m a total newbie. If you play let’s connect!
Trying out Pokémon TCG Pocket
I saw that Pokémon TCG Pocket has a special event coming up and Tyler has been collecting on this app for a long-time so I decided to join in as well.

An observation on TCG Pocket — if you owned Pokémon and had a huge market of collectible cards and believed there was a future for digital collectibles, like NFTs, this app is exactly what you would create. You have a brand new ecosystem of digital only cards to get people used to all the typical things you do with the current physical cards and create a whole additional digital ecosystem. It isn’t blockchain based today, but the consumer behavior is the thing to focus on now how it is done.
I just got my first CharGPT Pulse. I was more impressed than I expected. It was truly interesting. Curious to see how it changes each day.
With a market cap of $4 trillion the 5% move in NVDA shares led a $200 billion increase in market cap — double the $100 billion investment.
Nvidia, a chipmaker, signed a deal to invest as much as $100bn in OpenAI, an artificial-intelligence firm, to build data centres with a capacity of 10 gigawatts. Nvidia will reportedly receive equity in OpenAI in return. The firms said the deal would power advanced AI. More than 700m people use OpenAI each week. Shares in Nvidia were up nearly 5% on Monday. — The Economist, The World in Brief, September 23 2025

Saw this item in my RSS feed tonight. I had forgot about this feature in POAP2RSS. It worked as intended and I unsubscribed from the this event feed.
My Pokémon Collection
With some help from Tyler I got my Collectr profile accurate with my focused Pokémon collection. I have fun exploring Pokémon with Tyler and I have three things I collect:
- Perrserker is the closest thing to a Nordic Pokémon with his Viking helmet. I love Iceland and my DNA traces back predominantly to the Nordics so I feel a kinship to Perrserker. I’m collecting every Perrserker card there is and will have them all shortly. Perrserker evolves from Meowth and I have picked up a couple of those but am not collecting them.
- Alakazam is technically psychic but I also think he is sort of magical and when I used to play Dungeons & Dragons I always played a Wizard — so I’m also collecting this one. There are a ton of Alakazam cards! I may grab a Kadabra or Abra as part of the evolutions if they look cool.
- Lastly any graded Pokemon cards that I just think are really cool looking.
I just have 31 cards so far but I like the collection and having specific goals like this makes it a lot more fun. If only Collectr published an RSS feed on these profiles.
We had the stucco redashed on our house which gave us an opportunity to put a new color on it. We wanted to lighten it up and I’m very happy with the result.
