Blogs

I recently came across an article on Ars Technica that talks about how Google appears to be losing the fight against SEO spam. This is certainly a phenomenon I have noticed.

I recently came across an interesting idea from one of the oldest blogs on the internet to back up my blogs to a public GitHub repository. This is the why and how.

This is an excellent read for any of you operating system nerds out there. The author compares the architectures of both Windows NT and Unix.

Macs have been my primary computers for decades, but I have also had the occasional Windows PC. These are some screenshots from them.

Microsoft’s new version of Outlook for Windows has seen its fair share of criticism, but one omission is just shocking in 2024.

A little while ago, I stumbled upon an interesting project whose goal it is to emulate the Apple II DeskTop environment in the web browser.

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.

This is a recent and interesting article about the re-emergence of skirts as a men’s fashion item in the past couple of years.

This post discusses the results of the poll I posted asking about whether I should write more about gender-related topics.

This is a very short video that concisely sums up how people are directly impacted by men wearing skirts.

It’s been a while since my last outfit post and this one features one of my all-time favorite outfits which I have lovingly dubbed “The Beskirted Lumberjack”.

Based on a suggestion I received in the comments of one of my other posts, I decided to create this poll to ask what sort of underwear you prefer to wear with your skirts.

This is the story about the black dress that hung in my closet as a kid. It belonged to my mom and was the garment that kicked off my interest in dresses and skirts.

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”.
