NFTs in the Wild is Live
Last week I gave a talk at Arrival Meta in Decentraland. The theme of the conference was What to do with NFTs? I decided to talk about the NFTs I own and how I use them. I broke them down into categories, marketplace NFTs, website NFTs, and writing NFTs, and event NFTs. NFTs have gone from confusion and selling for thousands of dollars to people asking, now what?

The Problem With Web3
The problem with Web3 is time and money. I signed up for Greg Younger’s Write3 Challenge. It’s all about using Mirror and writing NFTs for 30 days.

Introducing: Not Another Metaverse Book
Hello, and welcome to my Mirror site! I am excited to be here as a writer and, Web3 enthusiast, explorer of worlds. Ok, that’s a little out there, but we’re all here to have fun, right? I’m here to write a book. And you guessed it. The book is about my journey into the metaverse. I thought, what better way to keep writing it than by posting snippets on a Web3 writing platform? There are already many books about the metaverse you can read. But the thing that makes Not Another Metaverse Book (w...
