Just recently stumbled across the Youtube Channel of Battlejitni, so far there are only two videos in it, but it sure looks promising. One is a trailer, the other one is the following: It looks a lot like pulp and it sure is fun, and it does not take itself too seriously, and that’s something [...]

In the dark, hidden corners of the ætherweb, sometimes you find hints of forgotten things, tales no longer told and art no longer appreciated. One of these forgotten works of art is a graphic novel/comic which ran from 2000 to 2002. Alas, it did not attract many readers and thus was cancelled before it could [...]

This is truely a reason to celebrate! 200 years ago Mr. P.T. “There’s a sucker born every minute” Barnum first saw the light of this world. While the “Sucker-Quote” is easily his most well known, it is not at all certain he actually ever said that. It is just like “I am your father, Luke!” [...]

Via my friend Nick’s blog I found the following magnificient artwork by Remton. Please pay him a visit his page on Deviant Art. It is titled “Luftflotte” and this says it all: Just notice the details, the woman (possibly a pilot) is wearing a headband with an Iron Cross and the Zeppelin (very futuristic, I [...]

A while ago, I ranted about Germans being completely devoid of patriotic feelings. Well, it seems we are changing. Right now the FIFA Word Cup is on (I guess you noticed…) and Germany is once again all coloured black, red and gold, people are going around with painted faces, flags ties around their shoulders etc. [...]

Today in 1937 Amelia Earhart, famed aviatrix and, aviation pioneer and author, vanished together with her navigator Fred Noonan somewhere over the Central Pacific. In many ways, Amelia Earhat is the real-life material, many fictional Dieselpunk-heroines are made of. She was a bold, daring woman and for her time very independent. She kept her family [...]
I am an anthropologist and in this capacity a minor scholar of the Cthulhu Mythos and H.P. Lovecraft. I am also quite obviously heavily into Steampunk and Dieselpunk and like travelling.
