If the Grand Old Dame of Crime Fiction, Dame Agatha Christie, DBE, would still be with us today, it would be her 120th birthday. Dame Agatha Christie has left a mark on the world of literature like very few others. From a Dieselpunk perspective, Agatha Christie has provided wonderful inspirational stories set during the Golden [...]

Anyway, In Strict Confidence, a German Dark Electro band, released an album in 2010, with the following cover (thanks, Timo, for sending the link to [...]

Granted, the topic of this post pushes against the boundaries of what is healthy quite violently, but I guess more than a few of us have thought about really appropriate jobs and hobbies for Steampunks (and obviously Dieselpunks). It is all a question about how far you want to carry your lifestyle. The trouble is, [...]

Last night, while once more being on the site of my favourite educational podcats Skeptoid, I read Brian Dunning’s annoucement Skeptoid being a finalist for this year’s Parsec Awards in the category Fact Behind the Fiction. Good luck, Brian, you have my support! So I went over to the Parsec Awards’ Website and had a [...]

Gatehouse Gazette Issue 14 has been released today and its topic is once more on the serious side: War In it you will find tips for the military Steampunk look, observations concerning technologies coming out of wars and which changed all our lives in a positive way. Apart from war-themed essays, there is obviously more. [...]
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.
More about me can be found here and also here (in German).
