AI note-takers are starting to become a regular fixture in a lot of online meetings allowing people to focus on their work instead of attending meetings.

Fortunately, I’m not the only one worried about AI leading to the collapse of the online publishing industry. The CEO of Cloudflare has just introduced a new feature that should help prevent that.

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’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.

Articles like this are difficult. It’s great that the topic is being explored, but it’s still putting strict lines between what men and women should and shouldn’t wear.

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.
