Had a great week spending time IRL with my @developmentseed.org team in Lisbon. I work with the smartest, kindest people and I’m feeling energized to finish the year strong and looking forward to 2026. 🫶

All year, it felt like no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't get more than 3 blogs out per month. Most of the time, only 2. In October, I finally got 4 blogs out! Sure, there were a couple of short ones, but I put the same love & care into those as well! Here's my October blogs 🧵

Played a game with my 8 year old last night. He loves this little comic from @theoatmeal.bsky.social.
Adding it to my zine inspiration collection.
Maybe we need data stories told from the perspective of the creatures we’re helping @gusbusdraws.bsky.social

Every so often, I find myself in the archives of the @developmentseed.org blog. I love getting insight into what life was like before my time at DevSeed. Here's a good one. Remember that cool new tool called MapBox (lol). It got to be such a big deal that we gave it its own blog & Twitter account.

Feeling really heartbroken about the devastation at the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. I've seen reports of between 50-80 structures lost including historic buildings. I don't have a lot of faith that things will be rebuilt. Perhaps we just return it to its original inhabitants. 📸: North Rim, 2021

California geo folks! I'm in Monterey for July. Would love to have coffee and scheme about how to accelerate the adoption of modern geospatial, as long as I don't have to drive to San Francisco. 😝

You don't grow up in the PNW without hearing stories about the Mt. St. Helens eruption. My parents watched it from the side of I-205 in Portland. 27 years later, I had a chance to look into the crater myself. Somehow, I've misplaced the photos.

I'd honestly never heard of HEALpix until last week when one of our developers was telling me about a project where they were using it. Now I see it everywhere. In case you are curious, like I was: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HEALPix

I’m up to three species of hummingbird at my feeder now. I am the definition of “easily distracted by birds.” This is a broad billed hummingbird.
