For several months, I’ve casually been researching and testing how to automatically generate article summaries based on links in an RSS feed in order to curate content for my Menopausey communities. I’ve got Google Alerts set up and have those going via RSS feed to a Slack channel. I also Read more…
My foray into NFC tags started with a couple of sources of inspiration right around the same time last year. I saw this video by Allie K. Miller first. And then received this beanie from a SheFi event at ETHDenver, a collab piece with EnsÅ. (Side note, for women and Read more…
Hmn, A Pattern Here. What gives, Stable Diffusion? My oh so threatening and inappropriate prompts? “Image was flagged as inappropriate” Prompt: “a simple line sketch representing really big learning supported by artificial intelligence. a woman is the main character in the image.” Alternative Prompt: “a simple line sketch representing really Read more…
I decided to take a solo road trip/retreat this fall and initially had a hard time pinning down how and where to spend my time. This itinerary was ultimately shaped by a random combination of things including roller skating, shooting expired film, and places my family was not likely to Read more…

Almost a year passed between my first and second very small crypto purchases. They were just about equally rough and ridiculous. The onboarding process for a new community for GenX women in crypto required the purchase of USDC (and MATIC for gas fees). I documented the steps I went through Read more…
Sometimes it’s easy not to post if the most eloquent and perfectly polished and articulated words don’t come to mind in perfectly baked paragraphs ready to publish. [Insert more p words here for alliteration.] So, here I am, two to three months into and after some things that are still Read more…
It’s hard to believe it’s been ten months since I first wrote about my journey to the metaverse. I’ve since gone much deeper into various rabbit holes. The last couple of weeks were no exception. I joined an incredible 13-week Web3 bootcamp and community for women and non-binary folks called Read more…
