Every dot in this stop-motion animation by IBM is a single atom, how cool is that! A few facts: The dots in this 90-second film are so small they can only be seen when magnified 100 million times. The ability to move single atoms is vital for research into data storage at the atomic level [...]

Today’s podcast is all about Atompunk and Cyberpunk, the two genres following Dieselpunk in time. Atompunk is a relatively new and obscure offshoot of Cyberpunk and Cyberpunk is by now deeply enmeshed with reality. The Internet and the omnipresence of computers, combined with augmented reality have turned many visions of cyberpunk into reality. Cyberpunk is [...]

Looking good: Only bad thing: I guess I need a new computer to run this one. Find out more about this upcoming game here: Cyberpunk.net I have played the role playing game Cyberpunk 2077 is based on. To say I am looking forward to the release of Cyberpunk 2077 would be a massive understatement.

This is something you hardly get on the news, watch the video and be surprised what computers are capable of doing already! It is only a matter of time until we manage to build a true AI, I cannot say when, I am not knowledgable enough to make an educated guess. I do not expect [...]

My friend Dag of SteamheArt fame has pointed my eye towards a most amazing armory workshop on the ætherweb: Nightmare Armor Studios The word “impressive” does not suffice at all. What they have on display on their site is hands down the most mind-boggling selection of sci-fi/cyberpunk armor suits I have ever seen on the [...]

Science Holiday! Today, Alan Turing, would have celebrated his 100th birthday. He is one of the fathers of the modern age, due to his contributions to the then emerging field of computer science. Also, the Turing-test, a method to determine the ability of a computer to think like a human was first suggested [...]

Let us presume for a minute, the evil plans of my good friend Captain Serenus have finally been turned into action and he has unleashed his robot army upon the world. Than he gets betrayed by his loyal intern, whom I will not name because her well-being could be endangered. But alas, Leonie’s plan (uuups, [...]
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.
