We were in the area and finally got to visit Kyiv Cakes in Lakeville today. I’ve wanted to come here for a while. They have a broad menu of Ukrainian as well as traditional baked goods. We got a slice of Honey Cake with raspberries and it was light and delicious! Recommended. 🇺🇦
We found ourselves with some open time this weekend and decided to check out the Lakeville Art Festival this morning. We’ve been to many art fairs but this was our first time to this particular one and we thought it was great. They had a great selection of art from artists in …

It is monitored so I knew it was working but figured it was probably in need of some updates. Sure was! I got a little shocked when I saw the …

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.
