Why I Continue to Mine CHIA in 2023

CHIA is a cryptocurrency that uses proof of space and time to secure its network and validate transactions. One reason someone might want to mine CHIA is to earn rewards for their contribution to the network. Another reason might be to support the decentralization of the CHIA network by participating in the consensus process. Additionally, some people might be attracted to the environmental sustainability of proof of space and time compared to proof of work, which requires a lot of energy to power specialized mining hardware.

2016 Beer and Bagel 4 Mile with Results

Posted on by

  A Sunday morning race at Quarry Oaks Golf Course in Ashland, NE.  Beautiful morning with temps in the 40s at race start.  This race is never an easy one.  With a combo of hills, streams, golf greens and lots of runners, its not a race you will ever finish for time.  It was a good run and the post run activities were great.  I think this is one I will add to my “do it every year race from here on out!       http://www.beerandbagel.com/bbnebraska     Event results at http://onlineraceresults.com/event/view_event.php?event_id=18544

2016 Omaha Corporate Cup 10K Results

Posted on by

A beautiful Sunday morning in Omaha on September 25th for the annual running of the Omaha Corporate Cup.  This year I had not trained at all and was going to walk the 2 mile.  Competition got the best of me and I ended up run/walking the 10K in just over an hour.  My worst time ever in a 10K, but might have been the most fun I have had running in a while.  Might have to try more of that!       In the news: http://www.omaha.com/multimedia/corporate-cup-k/collection_b7e53f66-833d-11e6-8823-af4bc6530e0e.html http://www.wowt.com/content/news/Corporate-Cup-2016—the-feet-the-feat-and-the-fete-394723051.html

Jon’s Accident, 4 years later…

Posted on by

4 years ago today, Sarah sent out this email to our very best friends and family after Jon’s accident at Ski Cooper in Leadville, CO. While skiing as a family, Jon lost control and hit a tree at a very high rate of speed.  He survived the crash and is doing very well in the years that have now passed, but this note was a good reminder of how blessed we are to still have him with us and how much the community around us matters.   Our friends at Shadow Lake, my co-workers at Gallup, our friends in Denver and
