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.

I recently ran into an article over at Ars Technica that contains the history of the Windows Start menu complete with screenshots of each major release of Windows, including a few beta versions.

Recently, I had the honor of setting up a Node.js-based web application on an Ubuntu server and I thought I would share the steps I took to get it up and running.

A few days ago, I ran into a blog post with the author’s thoughts on why retro computing is becoming so popular amongst computer enthusiasts. Some points I can relate to more than others.

Since Angular’s new signals API became stable with the release of version 17, I have been a little confused about when to use them versus standard class variables in components and services. So I asked AI and this is what it told me.

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.

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.

Since starting this blog, I have heard from a number of men whose interest in wearing skirts and other clothing typically found in the women’s department has led to them questioning their gender. This is also something I went through and it almost cost me my marriage.

This is a short article that doesn’t say a whole lot that most of you won’t know. It basically sums up a lot of what I’ve written about on this blog.

Today, we welcome Tongim from France to Profiles of Beskirted Men!

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.

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”.
