Blogs

This is just a short post to say that I now have accounts on Mastodon and Bluesky.

This is a post that will most certainly betray my age in that I fondly remember the release of Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard.

Mozilla has recently had a lot of blowback about several recent changes they’ve made to Firefox. There was a reaction recently from a member of the Thunderbird team.

In an effort to speed up TypeScript compilation, Microsoft has decided to rewrite the compiler to be a native application.

It’s almost been 20 years since I started my first blog. But what exactly defines a blog?

I somewhat recently ran into this screenshot of a rant that Linus Torvalds went on about C++ and why he thinks C is the better programming language.

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.

It’s time for another short story about wearing a skirt in public. I took my son to the playground in a green skirt and black leggings.

Every once in a while you run into men in skirts where you least expect it. In this case, I stumbled upon a video of the Italian Måneskin playing live in concert while wearing skirts.

Today’s post is a bit unusual in that it is about a children’s book about a boy who likes to wear skirts. The book is called Felix’s New Skirt.

This is just a small announcement to provide an update on my social media presence.

While it’s always great to see articles about men in skirts, they do point out the fact that it has been a runway fashion item for men that has never made it to the mainstream.

This article doesn’t have a lot of written content but does have several pictures of men rocking skirts during the fashion shows in Europe during the summer of 2023.

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”.
