Ready for Halloween Trick-or-Treaters but suspect the 32 °F and dusting of snow is going to keep counts low. 🎃👻🥶
Snow isn’t a great way to start Halloween! 🎃 👻🥶
iMac Upgrade
It has been time for us to upgrade our 27" 3.7 GHz 6-Core Intel Core i5 (2019) and 27" 3.8 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i5 (2017) both with 2TB Fusion Drives. The later can’t even upgrade to macOS Sonoma.
The iMac is the form factor I wanted, but I wasn’t willing to go with an M1 Chip in 2023! With the “Scary Fast” announcements tonight and the Apple Silicon M3 iMacs I can get the chip I want! Placed orders for two of them, both with 24GB of unified memory and 2TB SSD storage. Decided to get the Blue and Orange combination.
Apple Silicon M3 is here! A MacBook Pro with an M3 Max has an incredible amount of power. Wow! I’ll be ordering two of the iMacs with M3.
We saw Spirited Away at Willow Creek Theater today as part of Ghibli Festival. First time we had seen it and enjoyed it a lot. 🍿
I’m gobsmacked by the awesomeness of RSS Club. I want to figure out something to publish RSS only now. And the logo is brilliant! I must make this a sticker!
Excited to see the optical fiber connection installed to the outside of our cabin! Still won’t be setup until spring but this is a big milestone!
Last night Eight Sleep Autopilot made 25 temperature adjustments throughout the night. I can’t speak to the specifics (I was sleeping!) but I did sleep well and was comfortable all night. 😴
We made the final batch of candles for the Things 4 Good Candle Fundraiser tonight. We have 204 candles with 8 different scents! Looking forward to selling them all and raising $5,100 for four charitable organizations!
Took a pre-order for the Things 4 Good Candle Fundraiser and the purchase was made with Bitcoin Lightning! ⚡️ That is the first sale for our annual fundraiser done using crypto! No fees, instantaneous settlement. Magic. 🙌
Seeing Laamar & Lanue at the Dakota tonight. A collaboration between Geoffrey Lamar Wilson and Lanue. Never heard them before but am enjoying it. 🎶
Rainy dusk in Downtown Minneapolis.
I claimed my POAP for participating in the KZG Ceremony. This is one of the POAPs that I will treasure for a long time, right alongside the ENS 6th Anniversary and the Ethereum Merge POAP.
Had a great time at Big Cedar Lodge and driving home today. Departed at 6:40 am after being the first customers at Truman’s cafe for coffee. 9 hours of driving with a couple stops on the way. Final total of 1,338 miles in four days!

We successfully finished “The Zeros” escape room at Escape Code today with 1 second on the clock! We missed one clue so had to make an informed guess at the time end, but it worked out!
