After much ado, and eight months after the event itself, here it is. My City Nature Challenge 2025 recap!

It's long, but it turned out that even though the observations felt slow I still had a lot to learn and say from my first CNC in Oregon.

Glad to get it out before the new year, if just barely! Please enjoy 🙏🏻

I had a great conversation with my friend @phil about building on the web since the early days, naturalist work, zen, and how they have all come together for me now in a time where we need more ways to grow our own little gardens of web sites to remind everyone of what the web and this deeply interconnected world can truly be. I hope you’ll have a listen 🙏🏻

Hey everyone, I started a Ko-fi!

Right now I have quite a few downloads available and will be adding more and more. I might also start offering some carvings, if anyone might be interested.

If you have appreciated my photography or naturalist work, and would like to support me doing more of this kind of thing in the future, please take a look and see if there’s anything you might like!

Anything you can offer is greatly appreciated 🙏🏻

just a gentle reminder that you can let go of the idea that suffering is a virtue
