“Everything we do has all of ourselves in it. It can have all of ourselves *deeply* in it, or it could just be surface level.

But either way, we’re inhabiting the things that we’re making. The good ones have our soul. They have a piece of us in them.”

— Rick Rubin 

This is probably his best podcast appearance

Fitness

I’m getting hitched in 6 months and desperately need to get in shape to fit into a suit. im overweight but have a history of being fit so I know the steps. starting off at 0 pull-ups, let the accountability begin.

Polkadot launched a cross-chain governance tool for its parachain ecosystem.

Bitcoin’s price reached $110,000 as bullish sentiment dominated the market.

FYI: your feedback is heard. 

TLDR: many users, not much OP.  There is also a bug that's being worked on.

Important context: 
Zora received this OP as part of RetroPGF funding and we voluntarily decided to distribute this to users.

This is only 300K OP (~$740K), and Zora has had well over 1M addresses. There's only so many addresses that we can meaningfully distribute to (~27 OP minimum). In this case it was around ~3,900. We'll share the criteria in detail shortly.

There have been some issues on the claim site with wallet connection that are being fixed as we speak, so double check later as well.

Taking the L (learnings) here for the future.

Our Community Retrogrant is now live.

Just made a frames starter template. I didn't realize this before, but it's a single line of code to connect with thirdweb.

I honestly feel bad for everyone building frames without thirdweb

Parenting

First morning post-MIL back injury

Focus this morning is going to be on cutting down to only essential projects and making sure dinner is taken care of for the family (MIL usually handles dinner for 2yo).

Morning routine pretty smooth overall. 2yo negotiated out of broccoli so today's breakfast was rice, natto, sweet potato, tomatoes, boiled egg, mushrooms, carrots, and bak choi (most of the things mixed together in sweet potato cause it makes everything taste better).

MIL stayed over instead of heading back home like she usually would. Wife is sick as well. Lucky to make it through morning routine without much crying since both wife and MIL are very sensitive to it.

Had a wonderful call to start the day with @mcbain and now onto taking a look at projects.

Onwards!
