Today I added a new card to my Death splinter team in Splinterlands. It comes from the new Escalation packs which are filled with some great new monsters with an array of new tools making it easier to

Today has been an interesting day. So many different projects going on that I wasn't sure I would even have a whole lot of time to look at Hive, much less finish up a post. I decided it was time to dive

The last couple of days I have been taking things pretty easy. I didn't have a whole lot of work to get done and a couple small projects in the yard. But other than that it's been a nice, quiet, and enjoyable

This weekend is of course Easter in most Christian faiths. It's a huge holiday with a lot of festivities worldwide. As I no longer have small children at home I no longer really celebrate the holidays

Over the years I have been playing Spinterlands ever since fall of 2021. The game sure looks a lot different now that it did back then and is certainly a lot more complicated. I can say that over most

Ever have one of those days when you're just feeling old? I get one of those from time to time, it's amazing how I don't have the energy I used to possess back when I was in my twenties! Today has been

I did consider a title of my post today "Hive Power Up of 10,000,000 HP", but that's even a little bit far for April Fool's Day! This is the one day of the year you can combine your pranks and

Here we are again on another Tuesday, they seem to sneak up on me faster and faster each week. I've not been as active this week as some health reasons slowed me down a bit, but welcome to life! Today

When I first started playing Splinterlands back in the days before the Chaos Legion, one of my favorite cards was always the Furious Chicken. Why you might ask? Because it was a zero mana card that was

I have been to San Francisco many time over the years. All too often work conferences and conventions where scheduled there, and to be honest, many times I passed on attending. Not because I didn't like

Back in the 1960's my father planted a lemon tree. Of course, he never expected much as he lived in a state with bad winters and it was in a pot. Over the years the tree grew, not to a giant lemon tree

If you've ever seen It by Stephen King you might not be a big fan of clowns. Pennywise was a spooky character! I know many people who were traumatized by clown experiences as children and are terrified

This morning I realized it was Tuesday, which meant it was time to put together yet another Three Tune Tuesday. The only problem being, I really hadn't put any thought into what I might want to assemble.

Yesterday my good friend @coinjoe shared an old coin from the Netherlands. It was well over 400 years old, and it got me thinking I should share some more of my European collection. So I dug into my files

As I have discussed in the past, my Splinterlands journey is what introduced me to Hive going on about four and a half years ago. For some time after Chaos I stopped playing the game as much but focused

It's hard to believe the spring equinox is already upon us here in the northern hemisphere. For those south of the equator welcome to fall! This year really has been flying by as we are heading into April

Happy St. Patrick's Day everyone! It's once again March 17 meaning the Irish day of celebration is here once again! St. Patrick is Ireland's foremost patron saint and it is traditionally believed he died

My Splinterlands journey started a long time ago, way back before the days of Chaos. Back then there were far less cards to play with and the game was far simpler. I really enjoyed the game back in those

It's here again everyone, Friday the 13th is upon us once more! There was one last month and we are lucky enough to get a second one in two months. Or unlucky, I suppose, if you are superstitious about

theacoughlin.com I don't think anyone likes a trip to the dentist. I know that is sure is one of my least favorite activities personally. Unfortunately, today's trip was one that was unavoidable. A couple
