A couple of months ago, I got a new-to-me ThinkPad L14. Even though I’m a huge fan of Mac, I’ve always liked ThinkPads and wanted to experiment.

Yet another major tech company using AI as an excuse to significantly increase the price of their subscription services…

Yesterday, I came across an article on Engadget where the author pointed out a very odd discrepancy in Apple’s use of fonts.

I have mixed feelings about this. More competition might lead to better pricing, but it might also lead to a disjointed user experience.

Recently, I decided to start a blog in German. I named it Alex’ Notizbuch which is a direct translation of Alex’s Notebook.

A few days ago, an article was published on Ars Technica that, as a creative person, I thought I should share here. As the title implies, it is about protecting human creativity from the onslaught of AI.

Das ist für mich als User eine echt tolle Nachricht. Ich finde Cookie-Banner ohnehin nervig und es ist nur noch schlimmer, dass viele Webseitenbetreiber den „Alles ablehnen“ Knopf verbergen.

Was bedeutet eigentlich „Feminität in der Männlichkeit fördern“? In diesem Artikel diskutiere ich, was das für mich bedeutet und was ich mit meinem Blog erreichen möchte.

Das erste Mal in der Öffentlichkeit in einem Rock zu erscheinen, kann für jeden Mann eine erschütternde Erfahrung sein, aber diejenigen, die den Sprung wagen, werden reichlich belohnt. Das ist meine Erfahrung.

Im Rahmen meiner Tätigkeit als Webentwickler bin ich immer wieder mit den Produkten von VMware in Berührung gekommen und habe auch schon einige Beschwerden über Broadcom gehört.

Ein von der Schweizer Organisation „Die Feministen“ organisierter Tag rief Männer dazu auf, in großer Zahl mit Röcken zur Arbeit in Zürich zu gehen.

Der wachsende Trend, dass Softwareunternehmen von Einmalkaufmodellen auf Abonnementdienste umsteigen, ist ziemlich beunruhigend.

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.

t’s great that Vogue keeps publishing articles about men in skirts, but the fact that this one is from 2021 and makes the claim that “men’s skirts are on the rise” somewhat dubious as it’s still very rare to see.

An interesting article from Australia discussing the question of why men don’t wear more skirts in 2025.

Today, we welcome Miloš Hlávka from Nový Knín, Czech Republic to Profiles of Beskirted Men!

I just wanted to make a quick post about the next couple of weeks. I will be largely absent from this blog and my social media channels as we are having company.

This article goes into a little bit of everything as far as men in skirts goes. While it doesn’t go into much depth in any of those topics, it’s nice that it covers them all.

Some of you who follow Everybody Skirts may have already seen this, but recently, a major Dutch brand showed a man deliberately trying on a skirt in this video advertising their clothing.

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”.
