Are you confused by the title of today’s blog? Believe me, I am, too. Anyway, a dear friend of mine brought my attention to this wonderful piece of modern Japanese music: The Yoshida Brothers have managed to bring traditional Tsugaru-janinsen music into the 21st century and created very impressive pieces of music along the way. [...]

A while back, I supported and promoted the project, and now exhibition, Steampunk Beyond Imagination. Yesterday, the loot I got for my arrived: Glorious! I like every single piece and cannot even say there is one I prefer over the others. The button can go on every coat I have, to always display my devotion [...]

So, 2011 has come and gone (almost) and we are looking 2012 in the eye. To make one thing absolutely clear: The world will not come to an end in 2012. The Maya never predicted that. Some half-wit with some vaguely New Age inspired idea came up with that. Check out this Skeptoid episode for [...]

Today is Winter Solstice, a.k.a. Yule (among others). I am on the road and cannot celebrate this day with my family. In case you wonder, I am actually celebrating Yule, I’m a heathen.

Right, my favourite publisher is doing it again (as if they ever stopped): Releasing fantastic books. Now, my preference for Angry Robot Books has several reasons: They’ve got Lavie Tidhar They’ve got Guy Adams They’ve got Dan Abnett They are based in Nottingham (home sweet home…) I have thus far not encountered a single book [...]

Last time I wrote aboutProfessor Minuskels Timetravel Panopticum I left the best and most spectacular bit out. Later in the evening, we were honored by a performance of Nakari, a Vienna based Tribal Bellydance Duo: Let’s begin with two photographs I took (please excuse the modest quality): But this, of course, is not all. I [...]

Captain Robert of Abney Park posted this just about an hour ago on his Facebook Wall: To those bitching about Steampunk going mainstream, I have one thing to say: It isn’t a revolution, if you don’t plan to change the world. And along the same line, check out this blog post by my friend Tee [...]
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.
