What is Cuppa Joe?Before Creative Work Hour, we gather live online to have a chat before we get down to the creative work of the hour. We call this time, "Cuppa Joe." Most days of the week during Cuppa Joe we get our creative day started together by playing the game where we guess the day's word from the generative artwork that @shadowspub creates for her #dailyecho spots. Today's winner: nooooooo body! It's an old-fashioned word, and we were stumped. You can find the solution of today's puzzle below on Shadows' post.

For almost as long as I have known him, @bitterirony keeps an active subscription of Poetry magazine. He still has the issue from that includes this intimate verse from the Poet Chera Hammons. How perfect to find it for today's post.

In front of the registration desk before finding my Hive friends @crimsonclad, @roelandp, @minigunner & @artakush, and @thedesertlynx at the Dutch tech event.As an architectural designer, I loved the small conference venue. The Circa, located just west of the Amsterdam City Centre in the industrial district, the roof & ceiling is comprised of galvanized geometric metal tiles. It reflects any colour that gets close to it.

Last night there were some concerned Hive users, panicking out there for fear they had lost their accounts when they couldn't see their posts on their preferred front-end dApps. This is a reasonable reaction! The reason is that we're all a bit tramatized by the predatory platforms of Web2, who without notice and most often without recourse, take down accounts. They conduct their business, and it is their business, like that every day. But that's not Hive. That is not who we are.

How Perfect! It's Web 3.1415926...Day!Guest Host @bitterirony took care of the CWH Crew today for 3 live sessions so that I could learn from the Hive Team at Web3 Amsterdam 2025. My main purpose in coming to the cypto-centric event was mostly to shadow @crimsonclad and @roelandp and take note of how they explain Hive to blockchain conference attendees and the speakers, all leaders in the Web3 space.
