It's my 4th HIVE Birthday!
Wow, what a crazy, wild ride it has been. I've always been kind of an ideas explorer, and 4 years ago I was exploring the new novel ways I could interact with the world and promote my music. I remember using an internet search and typing in "blockchain social media" and the rest was history, really. There was a lull where I was absent for a long time, and when I came back there were now two sites, the old and the new called HIVE. Well, the old site can take a hike, cause all the cool people are on HIVE.
My B-day wish would be readers for my evergreen content.
I'm not nearly as prolific as some bloggers on HIVE, but I also do try to create content on here that has a shelf life, or perhaps a lifespan. HIVE has become my go-to for almost all social media now, so I have a lot of microbogging posts on platforms like 
Also, please follow me if you don't already!
I consider the posts below to be the ones I've put most and effort into writing. They are all too old to be voted on, but they are the posts written specifically for HIVE that mean the most to me. If any of them sound interesting, please give them a read.
The Ethics and Morality of Cryptocurrency and Art
post date: April 19, 2018
First serious blog on the platform. 2018, I was trying to teach people about the new digital world/economy, getting negative feedback. I lamented about this in an earlier post so I felt the urge to explain why I feel better morally and ethically by creating music for crypto vs fiat.
I started to explore the ideas of NFTs, what they are, and started getting into HIVE with it's engagement mechanics. This is the first post where I start formulating my thoughts about the marriage of cryptocurrency, NFTs and the education system. It is something I've thought about a lot. Hackerspace Coin would be a coin that promotes local engagement within Hackerspace Communities, with an NFT educational system back-end built on top of it.
Homeschool Education - NFT and dApp ideas
post date: Feb 28, 2021
This post I talk more about my ideas on education, homeschooling and how I think the merger of technology and education were on the horizon. I talk about the site
and using it to publish my daughter's artwork to start an online portfolio for her. If you also value home education, I suggest looking into the HIVE community by

How Fungi Literally Saved My Life
post date: Feb 23, 2021
I wrote this post suffering with cluster headaches. These are a severe type of migraine headache that are nick-named 'suicide headaches', and the name aptly fits. In this post I detail how I overcame these issues by consuming a type of fungi with certain psychoactive properties. Part of me certainly hopes the evergreen quality of this content could possibly help someone at wits end in the future. If you suffer from, or know of people who suffer from cluster headaches (and you know) then maybe this post could help you.
Hot Potato NFT on NFTShowroom
post date: Mar 14, 2021
This is one of my favorite things I've done on HIVE. I made a Hot Potato NFT on
which is a Digital Art platform on HIVE. Since I could transfer them without spending gas, I minted 10 of them and passed them around freely. No-one to date has tried to sell any, but they haven't moved in a while.
The Death Gate Series Book Review
post date: Mar 27, 2021
HIVE had a new book club community called HIVE Book Club so I wrote a review for one of my favorite series, The Death Gate Series. What makes this post special to me when when I tweeted out the HIVE post, and the legendary fantasy novelist Margaret Weis retweeted it! We even communicated a bit, and I found out she grew up in the same place as I did, and went to my rival highschool down the road from me! I love her material so it was an honor to review her work, and it brought engagement to HIVE as well!
NFT's Are Dead! Long Live NFTs!
post date: May 21, 2021
This post was featured on
which was pretty incredible. It made me really want to blog more and explore some of my ideas further, feeling validated. LeoFinance is a fantastic community. This post really digs into NFT's, what they are, and really digs into the idea of NFT based education and educational assets.
Adding Intrinsic Value To Owned NFT Assets
post date: June 5, 2021
I really like exploring the ideas of fungibility vs non-fungiblity, and what, or how you could play with the wealth contained within it. I did some research and looked into upcoming NFT (and Non-Fungible Asset or NFA) technology coming up, and how a creative person could add additional wealth on top of what they currently own with their NFTs.
DAOs and Non-Fungible Educational Ecosystems
post date: Jun 21, 2021
Exploring the idea of educational NFTs further and starting to think about Decentralized Autonomous Organizations, this blog attempts to make the case for the importance of education and educational ecosystems within a DAO, possibly with education taken into consideration during the inception and growth stages.
So this wraps up my long-winded birthday post! If you made it this far, if I could have one final wish, it would be for you to listen to my music! I will post it at the bottom.
For now, Take care HIVE! Thank you for being such a cool, alternative place to hang out, socialize and make friends on!
