This month, I (soft) launched the redesigned https://candide.media website, and (officially) launched the "Frugal Filmmaking: Video Editing on a Budget" course!

The hybrid course (happening both in-person and virtually) teaches participants how to edit video using @kdenlive, where to find #CreativeCommons assets, how to add effects, and more.

The workshop aims to strike the right balance between teaching how #kdenlive works, #videoediting techniques, and thinking critically about video.

Here's a little untitled paper #collage I made, licensed under CC BY-NC-SA 4.0

Received a heartwarming email this week from someone who found my old #band’s song “You’re On Fire” on the @creativecommons compilation “Copy Me Remix Me”.

He loved the song then, but could never find out anything else about us as The Phoenix Trap disbanded in 2004. But he recently came across #music suggestions via Spotify, YouTube, and SoundClick and now is a fan of the entire album we put out back in 2002.

All this is to show that releasing #art and other “content” via #CreativeCommons can touch people’s lives in extraordinary and unexpected ways.

Releasing 25 vintage digital paintings I made before 2012 as Creative Commons Attribution (with high-res files).

I've given WotC a lot of shit and side eyes lately, but at least SRD 5.2 for the 2024 rules is going to be released under the Creative Commons (CC-BY-4.0).

In an attempt to meet some new and interesting people (and to avoid any talk of The Deranged Oompa-Loompa in the Alabaster Castle) I have followed a few hashtags. Maybe y'all can help me refine them a little. Thes hashtags are: #hiking #emacs #creativecommons #ccmusic #woodworking #webdeveloper #freeculture

I did a thing. In German this time (well… again). Against fascism in Germany. You might wanna listen :)

Als ich meinen Auftritt für letzte Woche (Anfang April 2025) in Köln vorbereitet habe, ist mir aufgefallen, dass ich kein Lied habe, was einen klare politische Ansage gegen Nazis trifft. Und das geht so nicht.

Wer letzte Woche in Köln war, hat es schon gehört; ich hab allerdings noch bisschen an Text und Sound "gefeilt"… Hier ist das fertige Release.

I'm working on an original translation of the Bible. My goal is to let the words of scripture guide my translation rather than reading a favored theology into the text. As the saying goes, "Where the Bible speaks, we speak, where it is silent, we are silent." In addition to being a formal equivalence, I try to preserve original idioms (with clarification in the footnotes), poetic and metaphorical language, and distinct synonyms (ie. land/ground/dust) where possible.

The text is available under a Creative Commons license. And it is available at a website, and as an ebook, though it is still incomplete.

Please support my translation work:

Seeing how a lot of #solarpunk #illustration used by magazines, portals and even researchers tends to be #AI generated bullshit I'd like to start a gallery with curated, intentional and human-made #creativeCommons #art for anyone to use.

I'd also like it to be a place with #solarpunkPrompts available in multiple languages - as we have them in Polish, English and Italian - potentially cross-linked and tagged by themes.

Do you have any #ideas , #feedback for such a site?
