Setting out on a journey to write more means I need to figure out what the heck I’m actually going to write about! The three main areas I’m currently focusing on are:

Web 3

I’m currently interested in the real world applications of Web3. It’s not the solution for everything but it is a powerful technology that can solve problems when applied intentionally.

My hope is that as I continue to spend more time advocating for intentional application of the technology, we’ll be able to bring it to the main stream.

Application Development

Native applications vs web applications is something that I’ve been interested in for a long time.

Progressive Web Applications feels like a happy medium. I first got interested in PWAs after going through Rich Harris’ Svelte course. I’m more curious to learn about native app development to deepen my understanding further.

Creating

I am also interested in learning more about being a creator. This year I plan on launching a personal YouTube as well as continuing my writing journey.

Content creation is one of those rabbit holes I find myself exploring simply because it’s so fun and it’s an area you can continuously improve at.

It would be great to connect if any of these topics are interesting to you — so if any of this resonates, reach out!

1Password CLI For Your ENV

The Everything Token

My thoughts on reading The Everything Token I recently finished reading The Everything Token by Steve Kaczynski and Scott Kominers. This book added a bit more to my hopes of a future heavily involved in blockchain. Scott regularly hosts talks with the blockchain community and worked with Starbucks on their

Connect A Wallet With Viem and Next

Update: Thanks to Zubin for pointing out I'm a doofus. The Viem docs explain how to deal with this. I've updated my code below with the simple example. I spent far too long today trying to connect to MetaMask with Viem. I am writing this to
