Blogs

I took some time this afternoon to import hundreds of old blog posts into this blog.

A couple of days ago, I stumbled upon an interesting article on TechDirt about how many websites have started to wall themselves off from the open internet in order to prevent AI bots from scraping their content. I have thoughts about it.

It seems like when I’m not writing posts on one of my blogs, I’m thinking about whether or not to replace WordPress as my CMS. It’s an endless quest that I have gone on several times without ever actually replacing the software.

It seems like every browser is currently jumping on the band wagon and trying to “enhance” the browsing experience with AI. Vivaldi isn’t and that’s refreshing.

It seems like Harvard Law School got a pretty good deal on that geninue copy of the Magna Carta.

In this post, I share photos, stories and information about all of the cars I have owned over the years.

Diese Frage ist eine der Ersten, die sich viele Männer stellen oder gestellt bekommen, wenn sie ihre Liebe zu Kleidung entdecken, die man normalerweise in der Frauenabteilung findet. Lass uns also über dieses Thema sprechen.

In diesem Beitrag teile ich einige meiner Erfahrungen mit dem Tragen von Absatzstiefeln in der Öffentlichkeit und im Büro. Spoiler: Es gab einige großartige Begegnungen!

In Deutschland gibt es immer wieder mal diverse Versuche auf Open-Source-Lösungen umzusteigen. Jetzt ist Dänemark an der Reihe.

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.

I have decided to completely reconceptualize the Stories section of Haunting Alex. This is what I’ve changed it to.

A Haunting on the Hill by Elizabeth Hand is an interesting modern dive into the world originally created by Shirley Jackson in The Haunting of Hill House.

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.

I don’t have a lot to report on this week, but I do have a couple of updates in terms of blog posts to share.

This is an interesting article that discusses men wearing “women’s” clothing such as skirts and heels to work as well as addressing heteronormativity.

Today, we welcome “Born too early” from Brabant, Netherlands to Profiles of Beskirted Men!

I’ve decided to try something new on the blog called “Week Notes” to share more regular updates about my adventures in gender-non-conformity.

This article about men wearing high heels delves a bit into the history of high heels as well as how they developed into feminine footwear rather than masculine as they originally were. It also goes into quite a bit of detail about subcultural and general acceptance of men wearing heels today.

My family and I traveled to Regensburg for an afternoon and encountered a couple of very exciting surprises.

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”.
