A delightful evening to mark 20 years of the CIO Wine Tasting organized by Dee Thibodeau of Charter Solutions. Chuck Kanski of Solo Vino always brings an incredible selection and takes us on an amazing journey through the different wines.
Tasty Fox in the Woods coffee from Grayfox Coffee. The images they put on their coffee makes me almost wish I had a Ripple Maker to do the same at home. 🤩
POAP 7453396 for SPS Women in Tech Q3 2025 Lunch & Learn.
The image for this POAP was created via GPT-5 with the prompt:
I would like you to generate an image for a circular POAP badge with a vibrant teal-to-orange gradient background. At the center is the Women in Tech (WiT) logo — a clean, minimal flat-style laptop with coffee and charts inside, outlined in white. Radiating outward are subtle glowing neural network dots and arcs, minimal and elegant, giving an AI-inspired futuristic vibe. At the bottom-right inside the circle is a small playful line-art outline portrait of Jamie Thingelstad, wearing a hat with a bird perched on it, drawn in the same minimal outlined style as the WiT logo. Inside the circle edges, curved text: on top “WiT Q3 Lunch & Learn”, on bottom “How AI is Transforming Product Creation”. A small ribbon banner under the logo reads “Jamie Thingelstad · Sept 18, 2025”. Fun, playful, but clean and polished, with all elements fully contained within the circle for cropping.
I don’t run the public betas for Apple OS releases — and days like today are the fun when I get to jump into the new release. Updated macOS, iOS, tvOS, watchOS, and lastly visionOS to 26! Having fun and it is cool to see all the apps updating with Liquid Glass. 🤩
My Supplement Program
I’ve started working with a Doctor focusing on overall health and wellness. Think of it a bit like the things that Peter Attia does with patients, but significantly less famous, less expensive, and in my zip code.
I thought it would be worth capturing my current supplements that are based on a comprehensive set of blood tests that we did.
- Premium Insurance Caps: I’ve taken these on and off for decades and had not been taking them recently. My Dr. wasn’t familiar with them but after looking them up his comment was “Those are some of the best overall general vitamin I have seen in long time.” I take 3 a day.
- Elite EPA Gems: These are the same Omega-3 supplements that Attia takes. I’m taking two a day, one with breakfast and one at dinner. My Triglycerides were slightly elevated in my test. I will be switching to O.N.E. Omega when I run out since it also has DHA.
- Vitamin D3: My Vitamin D was low and going into winter this will get harder. Taking three tablets each morning.
- DHEA: My testosterone levels were low and DHEA is a hormone that can boost production. Taking two of these in the morning.
I’m likely going to add Curcumin to this program as well. In 2 to 3 months I’ll be getting the comprehensive blood tests again. This will be the first time I’m getting a real before and after. I’m curious to see how things react.
These bicycle themed demitasse cups are still some of my favorites ever. Felt like an afternoon espresso.
Nice morning at Country Blossom Farm! Bakery, Apples, Games, Bouncy Pillow, Corn Pit, and more!
Tetris on the ModRetro Chromatic is my favorite implementation ever. So good.
Driving into the sunset. 🌅
Flank steak on the Big Green Egg! 🔥 I need to grill more often.
