We all know about the Apollo Program which brought a number of US astronauts to the moon. At the same time, the USSR also had a manned space program going (for my younger readers: The USSR was a state that existed from 1922 to 1991 and comprised areas of what is now Russia, Ukrania, Belarus, [...]

Personally I think the politicans of the recent decades lack a certain something. But then maybe the presidents we consider heroic and badass today were just regular guys and acquired an aura of the superhuman through the course of history. Well, recently I came across the marvelous artwork of SharpWriter on DeviantArt and he has [...]

Hello all, another necessary off-topic post. My friend Alex over at Technomancer has blogged about this and I simply spread the word further: To all the people on the good planet Earth, the crew of Tokyo HackerSpace has a message that we would like to send to you: By now, everyone knows of the crisis [...]

Right, there will be a short steampunk-related update later, but for now, I want to share this little gem with you: Yes, what Ms Watson is describing here is real. It is happening now, in the 21st century. I despair! How screwed-up can some people’s minds be… No, I do not blame this on Christianity, [...]

Today in 1910 the first woman ever received her airplane pilot’s licence and thus becoming the first aviatrix in history: Raymonde de Laroche. Her story is quite remarkable, she was created a baron by none other than Czar Nicholas II and was quite an accompolished balloon pilot when she went to get her airplane pilot’s [...]
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) and Google
