Ephemeral Thoughts about Life,
the Universe and Everything...
On Social Networks
I'm currently working on a bunch of product and technology ideas and dive into the topic of federated social networks and networking in general. Here's some of the outcome.
Hermetics
My take on the fantasy genre. We are in a classical magic theme and move between the sub-genres of dark academia and urban fantasy. The story focuses on secret societies of magicians in a modern world setting.
Photography
Real world photos here. Favourite images taken with my Sony Alpha, my old Nikon or my phone. Latest twist: IR photography.
The Fourth Wave and the Aliens that never came
Two things came together for this experience. We needed a Guinnea Pig for online publishing and print on demand. So we had to create a short story. and by accident, I had written some things about Fermi's paradox and wanted to proof something. The outcome was ashort storie that is also available as an online book. But also in here for free in EN and DE.
World 2
A second earth? No, we don't need that, right? We can still save ours. But do we? Are we on the right track with the climate catastrophy, biodiversity, fascism and other threats? Here's some real world facts and figures.
The Mesh
My favourite genre: Cyberpunk. William Gibson, Neal Stephenson and the visual appeal of Blade Runner are my prototypical vision of the future. And we still seem to be on the way there, no doubt. So I had to create my own version of it and started with some sketches already when I was fifteen or so.
Transspace
An author needs a go-to world for spacefaring stories. Here's mine. It includes a way to overcome the speed limit of light. And it also includes the first drafts of an alien or almost alien race.
Kamina
Childrens stories, especially adventures and the concept of the Hero's Journey are always connected. And Kamina is my take on a strong girl, who is always the hero of her story and uses her imagination to overcome challenges.
Elements
Another Fantasy / Dystopia project involving demons and angels. This is a set of four short stories forming the four elements Earth, Water, Fire and Wind. We follow a group going on a wild roadtrip to hell and back.
Asimov
My first story for children. The only staring info was that it should be something with a robot. I mixed in a bit of the back story from the TV series of ALF and that was the birth of Asimov.
On Writing
A lot of texts and short notes cover some of my used principles while writing. Many of them are just for lookup, some might show interesting archetypical patterns, others show my motivation.
Predictions
Starting in 2023, I created a set of predictions about technology, society, and the future as a whole. What will the world look like in 2033, ten yeaars later? Will be continuously updated with addons.
Artificial Intelligence
The topic AI exploded in the recent years. When you create fiction, it's somehow clear that robots and computer intelligence have to be in there. But it's also clear that all assumptions are outdated a week after the idea already because the field is moving so fast.
Art Pieces
Photos from the art of others are a second layer of creativity that I enjoy. It's an interpretation of the image, the street art piece or the sculpture.
AI Worlds
A collection of AI generated images and remixes. Many of them are either related to my other projects or experiments with new tools.
The Guillorys
A series of children's tales. This time with a family of mouse superheroes. Every member in that really large familh has a special power and their playground is a big victorian mansion.
Weird Things
There are findings, that are weirder than real life and one day might be a topic for a good story. Find all of those fragments in here.
PCSC
PCSC is the chapter that contains real time data from my music collection and a contest for a small group of people to vote for songs. It's a very personal project.
Dica Club
Riddles and Escape games - some with real world connection and geolocation enabled, some on screen only. The project is in its early stages, but there might be some early hints already available.
Simulation Theory
Are we living in a simulation? Hard to find proof, but there are a bunch of interesting thought ecxperiments out there and even more stories to spin off.
