Every once in a while, you run into a project that makes you scratch your head. MacLynx, an actively developed text-based browser for the classic Mac OS, is one of those.

I recently stumbled upon an article at Ars Technica about Cloudflare turning AI against itself. I thought it was a very interesting strategy in the battle to try to protect creative content against AI training models.

I just discovered that, after years of development, Express.js 5 has finally been released as stable. It’s been in development for so long that I’ve forgotten how long it’s been.

A.I. is quite a controversial topic amongst developers, but do those who use it actually see an increase in productivity while working? This is my own experience with it.

Brave might be known for being a browser that protects its users’ privacy, but some of the practices the company behind it has engaged in are questionable at best.

I redesigned the Notes section of my blog so that it now uses a traditional blog format.

Stirrings in The Black House is another very interesting take on the traditional ghost and haunted house trope. It is definitely worth a read.

Ever since I was old enough to understand what ghosts were, I have had an enduring fascination with the paranormal and horror in general. This is a self-reflection on this interest.

I’m happy to announce that the stories section with the first public domain stories is finally online and available!

Ghost Eaters is a novel I finished at the beginning of 2024 and I thought it was worth writing about because it was a unique take on the ghost story genre with a great twist at the end.

Ever since I was a young child, I’ve been fascinated with tales of ghosts, vampires and all sorts of other horror subgenres. In fact, it’s rare that I read any fiction that isn’t a horror story of one kind of or another which is why I’ve decided to start this blog.

To all of you who celebrate Easter, I wish you a Happy Easter! Otherwise, I wish you a wonderful Sunday!

While men wearing skirts is unfortunately still unusual in Western countries, it is considered entirely normal in several parts of the world. This article discusses 13 of those countries.

With the warm, spring weather we’ve had the past few days here in southern Germany, I thought now would be a great time to showcase one of my favorite spring/fall outfits. It’s casual, comfortable and I absolutely love wearing it.

Most readers of this blog probably already know a lot of what this article contains, but it is a great guide for men who are new to the idea of wearing skirts.

I chickened out today. I woke up this morning with the good intention of wearing a skirt when going to the city of Regensburg, but got cold feet and changed into pants right before catching the train.

Today, we welcome Adam from California to Profiles of Beskirted Men!

Secret societies, like the notorious Illuminati, have long fascinated people worldwide, their influence extending from history into today’s popular culture.

Today I am excited to announce that after a number of years of lying dormant, History Rhymes is finally getting a new lease on life. 

Kaiser Wilhelm II abdicated after the end of the First World War, but that is generally when he exits the stage of popular history. So what happened to him? What did he do in that time? This article aims to explore some of these questions.

It is hard to believe that an entire decade has elapsed since I published my first History Rhymes blog post entitled “Starting Out.” A lot has changed in the past ten years and I have big plans for it for the future.

The rule of the Bavarian kings ended with the German Revolution of 1918-1919 in the immediate aftermath of World War I. The royal family became enemies of the Nazis and had to flee Germany, but never gave up the dream of restoring the monarchy.

History Rhymes has been picked to be featured in an editorial by Tutorful called “History Lovers: Awesome Websites and Resources To Cure Your Boredom”.
