Hello,
Hot enough this crypto winter summer 2022?
Celsius has hit zero 
- and is shutting down operation ( -
surprise, surprise - the money is gone - okkie not really gone just
in other crypto bros' pockets 
).
Anyways, a reminder: I am trying to restart the Best of Gems series
over on Planet Ruby
and I am adding extending the deadline for two more weeks for you to
join in / contribute [1].
Let's celebrate Ruby Digital Identity & Metaverse Week 2022 (FREE
ARTICLES SOON!).
The Ruby Digital Identity & Metaverse Week 2022 presents
a new Ruby profile picture / avatar character generation (graphics)
library every day from August 15th to August 21st.

Let's highlight graphics libraries for generating digital identity
profile pictures or metaverse avatar characters from the Ruby
universe.
