🕰️ Archives & Public Domain
For those who love the "golden age" and silent films:
• WikiFlix: browse public domain films hosted on Wikimedia Commons.
• Internet Archive: you know that, it's like the wild west of cinema. Everything from film noir to silent expressionism is parked here for eternity. Might need a good digging attitude.

📌 Many of these sites operate on a "rotating" basis (films stay up for 30 days, or more). Sign up for their newsletters so you don't miss the good stuff.

Do you have any favorite "secret" place to watch great movies?

Really enjoyed learning about the Good, Better, Best rubric for accessible museum communications. I see lots of applications for image captions in #OpenCulture and #scicomm beyond museums, too.

Updated my journal!
2025 was a pretty intense year for me, and so I didn't manage to update my photo collection for a whole year.

Over 2500 new photos, featuring flowers, pictures from a long-hike through Italy, the french Coast, and from a deep Winter. As always, all under a open license. Enjoy!

"Sched­uled for com­ple­tion next year, the cas­tle will pre­sum­ably — as long as the skills of its builders prove equal to those of their fore­bears — still be stand­ing in the 29th cen­tu­ry."

How To Build a 13th-Century Castle, Using Only Authentic Medieval Tools & Techniques

It's the rare Englishman who will readily defer to a Frenchman — except, of course, in the field of castle-building. This was true after the Norman Conquest of 1066, which introduced French castles to Britain, and it remains so today, especially under the demands of period accuracy.

Nice chunky update on the #zine page I am creating, a combination of resources and my own zines. I am open to suggestions if you have them: https://hpkomics.com/zines/

David shares a collection of zine publications he has worked on, but also assembles some zine history and zine resources for the curious.

The conversation around AI often swings between panic and misconception.
AI doesn’t “replace” creativity, responsibility, or human judgment. It automates patterns, not meaning.
In every field — from art to engineering — humans remain the ones who interpret, validate, and give direction.
AI is a tool. The human layer is the system.
