My greatest journey yet

| 13. August 2010

Today at 08:44 (CET) exactly, I have begun my greatest and most epic journey yet: Fatherhood. I hope I will be able to bring my son up to be a gentleman and a renaissance man. There are so many things spinning in my mind right now, all these little ideas, plans, different plans and in [...]

LZ 10 Schwaben

| 12. August 2010

Since my current place of residence, Augsburg, is situated in the region of Swabia, German: Schwaben, so it is only good and proper I do a little article on LZ 10 Schwaben, the first Zeppelin in commercial use: LZ 10 Schwaben was not only the first commercially used Zeppelin, it was also the first passenger [...]

The Art of Jessica van Hulle

| 11. August 2010

This blog is a little virtual biotope of its own. There are things going on I did not expect when I started two years ago and who knows where this will all lead to in the end… Ever since I installed the Tweet-meme button, I started looking at the people who tweeted and retweeted my [...]

Tesla Gun and Halitosis

| 7. August 2010

However, the people at Deutsche Bahn in their infinite wisdom [...]

Mythos Musical Equipment

| 4. August 2010

The following photo appeared on the Ætherweb quite a while ago. Rumor has i it was first twittered by Neil Gaiman. Could be… I guess he has ways to access the darker corners of the cosmos.
