Again it’s skepticism and not Steampunk… I just wanted to give a shoutout for skeptic, educator and all-over great guy Brian Dunning. I have mentioned him here before, he is the host of Skeptoid (click!), one of the finest science podcasts around. In May, Brian gave a presentation of his famed Sounds from Beyond at [...]

Thanks to a strange coincidence, as noted before, I was able to review a book which concerns itself with a topic related to my essay in the issue 15 of the Gatehouse Gazette. The book in question is Man-Made Monsters: A Field Guide to Golems, Patchwork Soldiers, Homunculi, and Other Created Creatures Quite a long [...]

The whole story behind it is summed up in this cartoon better than [...]

There has been a lot of buzz on the internet recently regarding this old swami from India who survives without food or drink. Well, Mr. Randy, what do you have to [...]

Well then, what can I say… My fellow Steampunks on the other side of the globe are making their presence felt and have organised the First New Zealand’s Steampunk Fashion Show. It is organised by Fabiana Bronte, please visit her at Steampunk Empire and leave a note. I wonder if we can ever get something [...]

For most of us, the weather is, on a day to day basis, not much of a concern. We just have to switch on the television set, the radio or go on the ætherweb to check the weatherforecast for the next few days. Unless a storm, heavy rain, or, like this year, massive amounts of [...]
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).
