So here it is, my very first forray into the realm of podcasting, done all by myself. I have previously been a guest on other people’s podcasts, but now I am doing it myself. Still a bit bumpy, but I will get better with practice, I think. And these are the links: Steampunk Accessories: http://www.ivypress.co.uk/2012/05/16/steampunk-art-at-brightons-fringe/ [...]

Everybody who knows anything about the Illuminati (especially if your primary source of information is the noted scholar Dan Brown), knows, they are a secretive organization. They are pretty much underground. How deep underground they really are has thus far been a matter of speculation. Up until now. Believe me, it took quite some effort [...]

The final installment of my Prague travel log is a massive photo update and a personal “Thank You” to all the people I met and those who made this evening so excellent and memorable (the two groups overlap heavily). First, here are some of the pictures I took: And now the shout out to all [...]

This part of the travel log is particularly hard to begin. I have actually deleted and rewritten the first paragraph several times by now. So what I am doing now is just writing along to get into the flow. When I made my way to Prague, I knew I would have a short night. The [...]

The fundraiser for the European Steampunk Convention has less than 20 days left and there is still a long way to go. To be fair, we overestimated the amount of money we needed, but not by a lot. Right now, though, paying for the goodies will eat up the money we have collected, leaving us [...]

As I said in the previous installment of the travel log, when I arrived, there were about 100 people already there. Most of them were also dressed up steampunk-style, most of the others were either goths or metal-heads. So, do you know how many people live in the Czech Republic? 10,562,214 according to the 2011 [...]

On the 14th of April 2012 (i.e. yesterday), I made my way to the beautiful city of Prague to attend the SteamUp Festival Vol. III at the Hoodoo Music Club. Getting there was just a tiny bit of an adventure itself, I took the long-range express bus: It was far better than I expected and [...]

And we need it to get rid of all the snow we got last night! What in Cthulhu’s name is going on? In March, we had 20°C around these parts, and now we have snow outside and it is freezing! I guess this year we will have to repaint our easter eggs in winter-camouflage-pattern. And [...]

I just discovered this on the ætherweb: I must admit, I disagree with rule #15, a good, well-mixed cocktail does in deed fit the gentleman, provided it is consumed in adequate atmosphere and company. Interestingly enough, there is quite some overlap between those twenty rules and the Nine Noble Virtues of Asatru. And obviously, if [...]

You know, so many people say this world is beautiful. Look at it: It is filled with life. There is life everywhere. Is life not beautiful? Well, I guess I have news for you: 99% of all species that have ever, ever, lived on earth, have died out. Some of the one’s that survived a [...]
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).
