Hello dear reader! It's been a minute but I'm committing to getting back to my blog on @paragraph "Unpacking with Prof" at least weekly. I lost my drive to write for a bit there but I think it's back. Thanks for joining me on this journey. I'll also be publishing these over on Substack if you'd like to follow me there as well. ✍️ ✍️ ✍️ Latest post: Who is Satoshi? an exercise in critical thinking for my students Last week, my Blockchain for Entrepreneurs class started back up; a 8 week introduction to all the things starting with Bitcoin. I created this course in the Fall of 2021 and it launched as a special topics course at FGCU's School of Entrepreneurship in January of 2022. Since leaving my full time position in 2024, I've kept teaching this course as I didn't want to see it die. No two semesters have been the same. I've said many times that a student could have taken this class every semester I've taught it and still learned something new each time. The only module that has remained somewhat constant has been Week 1: Bitcoin. After watching an interview with the documentarians of Finding Satoshi, the latest exploration on the mystery, I decided to add a new assignment for week 1: Who is Satoshi.

While on vacay this week, I launched a new podcast with 2 of my professor colleagues. This is not web3 related but some of you may find it interesting (and I may be reaching out to a few of you to be guests!) Our primary location for this one is Substack but it's also available on YouTube, Spotify and Apple. ABOUT: Make This Make Sense brings together three Entrepreneurship professors unpack the systems, trends, and social dynamics everyone is confused about — with the women who actually understand them. Guests include academics and entrepreneurs covering various industries diving into the latest research and sharing their experiences. Introducing your cohosts: Dr Colleen Robb: Since Colleen started teaching entrepreneurship and business in 2004, she's never looked back. She's been involved in startups in the athletic, cosmetic, manufacturing, nonprofit, retail, and technology sectors, but loves teaching more than anything. She's been blessed to work with thousands of entrepreneurs, be they students, veterans, or community members to grow their businesses beyond what they thought is possible. Check out her blog which is loaded with years of lessons on entrepreneurship and teaching. Annie Stout: For over a decade, Annie has developed entrepreneurship education at every level at Florida Gulf Coast University, starting from a single first-year course to establishing a Living-Learning Community and creating a faculty development program that integrates entrepreneurship across various disciplines, including Engineering, Math, Education, Health, Hospitality, Legal Studies, and Music. Kelly Werder: Entrepreneurship Instructor turned crypto podcaster, Kelly Werder created the first Blockchain course for Entrepreneurs in a university Entrepreneurship program, leading to a first of its kind minor/concentration in Blockchain at Florida Gulf Coast University. Kelly left her full-time position in 2024 to focus on her livestream/podcast @GMFarcaster with her cofounder/cohost Adrienne, still streaming live 2x per week. Kelly is the production arm of this crazy MTMS experiment. Learn more about the cohosts and how we got her in this Make This Make Sense trailer and look for new episodes dropping each Wednesday starting July 1, 2026.

I created FormCaster - a form creation mini app to allow for gathering information with a Farcaster sign in that auto gathers Farcaster username, fid and wallet. I used to use DeForm/Megaphone for things like CastOut and Poker for potential players to apply because it had a "sign in with Farcaster" option and it has been sunset so I built this for my own use. I'm still testing it. During this test phase, it is free to fill out forms but there is a token gating to create. I want to give free access to a few folks to help me test who have a good use case for a mini app like this. If you are interested, please fill out the form below. Even if you don't, please feel free to fill this out and check "NO" on the first question. I'll be sending some $formcaster to everyone who helps me test. I just completed "FormCaster testers" 📝 ☝️ created with @neynar app studio

Got the token launched so I could add the gating to the mini app and everything looked ready to go in preview BUT got stuck at the final build. Hopefully, we'll have it figured out soon and I'll share more then.

I've been working on a mini app that I'm about to launch that will be gated for use with a clanker token. I'm about to launch that token. It will only be useful for this mini app tool SO nfa etc etc and I recommend waiting 30 seconds after launch. Also -- those with an active GMFC hypersub will get an airdrop of the token available tomorrow to claim. (snapshot already taken) I will say more after it is launched but just giving a heads up if you see any alerts about this. TY!
