Me in a different uniform! :O

Lots of chat about many aspects of Star Trek: film making, costume, practical effects, art, fandom - including preserving the art of a cult phenomenon - and of course, acting; the process of conveying an iconic character...

And this, which is referenced a lot during the podcast:

This is a shipwide announcement

Last year, I, along with the @ksproject, got to Destination: Trek with the help of Pam and Darren of Pam's Happy Hats. Pam is an amazingly talented crochet artist and friend to all Trekkies, Whovians and fandom geeks. If you've noticed me loitering with them at recent cons a lot it's because Pam's husband Darren is currently in hospital fighting leukaemia.

This amazing family needs the support of everyone, nerds, geeks, jedi, sith, starfleet, klingons - unite and buy crochet! Drop by www.pamshappyhats.com - and if you don't find your favourite you can request it...even your cosplay! That obscure character you've never found a figure of - Pam will make it!

*except you can't have the Enterprise, it needed a metal frame (that I made!) and took weeks!

You CAN have one of these, however; she does an entire range of Pride Daleks!

Or a mini or full-size Grogu! Mandalorian also available!

Or good Omens (Crowley also available!)

Or Supernatural!

And please, cast your spells, charms and goodwill into the universe for Darren (pictured here next to Tom Baker)

Kirk out

If any project supporters have very deep pockets...this would be a fabulous piece of production art for the archive/museum!

Wanted!

Doodles! Sketches! Little drawings! Sketchbooks! Old workbooks with Kirk and Spock adventures in the margins! That shoebox of scribbles from 5 years ago when you first watched trek! Or 10 years! Or 50!

Sometimes you see someone sharing drawings or sketches for a while, or find them from years ago on a dormant account, and think: whatever happened to those delightful doodles or wonderful watercolour illos? Do they still exist in a forgotten folder?

If you're wondering what to do with your old drawings, or are creating them now and have originals you'd like to see go to a good home, drop a line! They will be in very good company!

(Digital artists, don't feel left out. Prints or the digital 'original' is welcome; get in touch!)

The collection featured here is by @lejoursobre - technically, the largest number of original works by a single artist in the KS Project! :O

Stay tuned!

Destination: Trek debrief in link above !

Destination: Trek

I'd been asked to be involved in a UK Trek convention and thought this would be smooth sailing following LFCC, and that I'd be able to bring you similar and more of what I did there. I've tried my best to make this happen but much is outside my control. My explanatory post here explains some context. I'm very much in two minds over it all but know some will be hoping to see me / the KS Project archive in some capacity so if it's possible I'll be there

Bent to put my shoes on the other day and think I pinched a nerve; sudden sharp pain and my lower back muscles went into spasm. Recovering/getting some tlc with friends...Pam (Pam's Happy Hats) made these to cheer me up 😅

As the impending heat death of the internet, our library of alexandria, inches ever closer, here are some resources that will teach you everything you need to know about digital archiving.

Digital preservation is the only process that can and will preserve everything you love that (currently) only exists in the digital realm. It’s not 100% guaranteed to work, but let’s be real—your own painstakingly, personally, manually cultivated digital archive is all you’ll have left of the images, blogs, recipes, videos, fics, fanzines, games, servers, forums, articles, peer-reviewed scientific studies, “illegal” musicals and even the friends you found online, when the internet is completely gone.

And yes, you can trust me on this, because I've had to help family friends create a personal digital archive of their own. She chose to pay for archiving software in the end, but that's not important.

The basics of/anticipating potential roadblocks to adequate digital preservation:

What to expect from the quality of your digital archive in the future:

Also! Fun fact: you can download the files that make up your entire tumblr blog!

Any additional resources you have or know of would be greatly appreciated, so please don't hesitate to share them.

Please spread this post so that it finds the people who need it the most right now.

As well as those credited, I'd like to extend a huge thank you to all the fans I've met on my travels and online, whose enthusiastic response to my "real life" Kirk encouraged the production of this small flavor of possibility...
