This site is a collection of information, links and comments about topics I want to share. These topics appear more or less in the order they occur to me rather than following any rational schema, so if you are looking for something in particular, try using the search window above. Welcome!

Crypto Currency, Non-Fungible Tokens and Virtual Worlds

These may initially appear to be unrelated, but they are inextricably bound together in blockchain-stored VWs.

Crypto Currencies

Blockchains

Smart Contracts

DApps

Decentralized Applications

DeFi

Decentralized Finance is a movement that seeks to leverage decentralized networks to create trustless, transparent protocols that run without intermediaries.

Where one keeps links to crypto assets, protected by public-private key encryption

What are NFTs?

Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) are unique, immutable virtual assets, such as Decentraland LAND or CryptoKitties or baseball cards. They are used as collectibles, and have sparked surprisingly robust and well-funded markets considering that they are largely imaginary items with no intrinsic value.

Universal Avatars

Augmented Reality

AR is a technology that blends the real world with the virtual world, showing virtual objects in a real world environment, usually by means of special camera-equipped HMDs.

Cooking

Recipes, tips, techniques, tools and ingredients

IP Cooking with the Instant Pot & IP Vortex Plus

Lately I've acquired an Instant Pot electric pressure cooker and Vortex Plus convection oven/air fryer. They are wonderful! I want to share my recipes and tips (including tested cooking times) here.
