Got to watch a robot at a hospital peel the skin off a grape.
That same robot then completed a triple-bypass surgery on a heart.
The patient is now at their home recovering instead of being in the hospital for 2-4 weeks, with minimal scars.
With the rise in cardiovascular disease in America among 30+, more people need to be aware of this type of surgery as an option.

While I didn’t finish my hackathon project at ETHDenver, that didn’t stop me from pushing forward! This past week, I finished the website and started the dashboard. We rolled out two AI agents for testing with businesses we had onboarded and we’ve generated $63k in revenue for our beta partners.
This week, I’m diving into privy integration into dashboard, base contracts, finishing a Voice AI agent, and exploring chainlink price feeds.
Plus, I’m on the lookout for 2-4 legacy partners… more on that soon. Exciting times ahead! 🙌
Alright, so we've likely got our first partner who's open to testing the Base AI Agent with us, without having built anything. Looking for one to two more.
✅ Established business with $1M-$10M ARR
✅ CRM with 1,000+ cold/dead leads (phone, email, wallet messaging will come later)
✅ Product priced between $2,000-$50,000
✅ Healthy profit margins
✅ Industries: Debt, financial services, home repair, insurance, education/mentorship
💰 And when the AI Agent generates the revenue, you'll get 10-20% of the net profit for the test, if its a referral.
FYI We expect this test to go beyond ETHDenver and we're doing this on a 100% performance basis. No setup cost and they only pay when the agent make them a sale.
If you know a business that might fit? Let’s connect. 🤝
Encouraged by some frens to build an AI Agent for ETHDenver. Time to put VSC + Cline + Continue + Claude 3.5 to the test.
If I don’t document the process in the public, it’s unlikely this will get done, so I’m using Warpcast as my journal.
Today, we reviewed all the AI bounties and mapped them to the features of the AI Agent we’re building. Decided to go with @base.base.eth and @coinbasedev bounties.
I got on a video chat with a friend whose entire job is thumbnail creation for YouTube creators. After explaining the story of the AI Agent, we mocked up 25 thumbnails and then picked our favorite one.
With the thumbnail selected, I spent most of the evening putting together the slide deck and writing the entire presentation I will need to memorize over the next five days.
Now, off to read docs, talk with a dev, and setup the IDE.

Ever notice how tech, news, feeds, and notifications constantly pull at your attention?
We chase love, validation, and connection in so many places—yet our hearts still feel restless.
After studying Proverbs for six weeks, I realized how easy it is to develop a distracted heart—one that looks for fulfillment in everything but God.
"Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it." – Proverbs 4:23
But the heart isn’t just emotions—it’s the source of our decisions. If everything flows from the heart, a distracted heart leads to a distracted life.
This Valentine’s Day, let’s remember: No love satisfies like God’s love.
Feeling drained? Lonely? Lost? Pause. Ask God to refocus your heart on what truly matters.

🚨 "The dairy farmers show up all the time, but the crypto builders don't."
— A congressional staffer working on DeFi policy.
During /onchainsummer, my interest in crypto policy reignited. In October, I attended an event hosted by @0xpolygon, @solana, @wormhole, and @standwithcrypto.
The key takeaway? Builders must step up and shape the future of crypto policy.
To help, I’ve written a 3-part series with insights from the event and actionable steps for builders to be effective.

Goal: Using no-code, mint a NFT on Base.
Xano - Backend
Pinata Cloud - IPFS Storage
Tatum - DevPlatform / API
✅ Completed
Next, trying to go from Xano to a no-code front end. Goal is to be able to click a button that will mint the NFT.
🤔 Maybe I should just learn to code. Need to build the event app.
