A few years ago I made this random fish generator for a colleague: https://strudel.org.uk/fish/

Amy had been making abstract graphical fish and we realised that we could create lots of different fish by moving 10 control points (two for the nose, two for the start of body, two for the end of body, two for the start of the tail and two for the end of tail) up and down and applying random patterns/colours.

“El peligro no está solo en el acceso de los menores a contenidos inadecuados, que también. Está en la normalización de una plataforma privada como infraestructura cognitiva básica. En aceptar sin discusión que una empresa con intereses comerciales evidentes sea mediadora central del aprendizaje, de la información y del ocio infantil.” #educacio #xxss #youtube

I'm starting to look for new job opportunities.

Maybe you have a role for which I could be a good fit or know of someone who might have?

I'd appreciate sharing with your network to increase the reach. Thanks!

Really worrying to read one of #iNaturalist co-founders thoughts on leaving the project.

I truly hope the project and the apps have a future and don't end up enshittified. Despite being a *very* casual observer, iNat has been instrumental in reshaping my relationship with the living world around me and one of the few constant sources of joy in my phone.

Why I Left iNaturalist

After almost 18 years, I left iNaturalist, the product and organization I helped create. I left because I don’t believe the current Leadership team is pointing the product in the right direction, and I don’t think they are managing their talented staff in an empathetic or effective way. If you’d like me to continue working on natural history software, support me on Patreon.
