It was a great weekend around southern California, lots of sunshine and beautiful weather. I think it's a big part of the reason I haven't moved away quite yet, the weather is hard to beat! Now it's Monday again so time to get back to the grindstone on some work that needs to be finished up this week... But before I dive into that project I decided to put together a post for the day!

I'm not quite sure how, but it seems that Sunday is coming around faster and faster. I'm out on the back patio drinking some coffee and starting to put together today's giveaway post. It's a gorgeous morning, and I love this time of day in southern California. Especially the weekends when there is so little traffic noise which is really nice.

The weekend is upon us once again, I always love weekends this time of year. The back porch is a great temperature to sit outside and enjoy some morning coffee. Here in southern California it's starting to get a little warm in the day time with a high of 90 F (32 C), but next week it's going to cool down a bit thank goodness.

This past week I published first installment of some of the Hive ecosystem tipping tokens. There are a lot of them out there these days, and frankly it can be confusing to understand the number of tokens you need to hold in order to make a call and give out a tip. This week I will be covering some more of the commonly used tipping tokens, some that have become less used I may not include on the list. Not because they aren't great, but mostly because I just couldn't find the information I needed to include them in the writeup today.

Growing up in the late 70's and early 80's there was no lack of cartoons to watch. I always loved Looney Tunes with Bugs Bunny, Scooby-Doo, He-Man, the Transformers, Inspector Gadget, Voltron and even The Smurfs. That was back in the day that cartoons came on every Saturday morning, talk about ancient times... One that I also enjoyed was The Peanuts featuring Charlie Brown and Snoopy.

It's Tuesday again and time for some more fun with hard rock and heavy metal! But before we jump into the music, I found a couple other fun items this week to share first. In the US state of Arkansas there is a state park called Crater of Diamonds State Park. It's a state park that you pay an entry fee and look for diamonds. The park is actually and old kimberlite volcanic tube that is rich in diamonds. The best part is what you find you take home with you. I found one there years ago while working for three weeks in Little Rock, Arkansas, but just a small one. A lucky guy found this 3.81 carat brown diamond there just last week!
