Personal blog of Bob, talking about what interests him and what he learned today. He is also showing his projects and lists useful resources for developers and science students.
I have already talked about the work of Alastair Reynolds several times here1, but I just can’t stop, so here we go again. The more I dive into it, the more time I spend with it and the longer I live, the more I realise how great all of this is. Let me explain. Search for “Reynolds” on my search-page.
Happy \(\pi\)-day again! Damn, already. And I noticed this just the day before yesterday and suddenly felt the need to finally write a blog again. There have been a lot of things happening in the meantime. It’s not that I’m a super active person doing so crazy many projects which I’m busy with all day along, but still, I didn’t find much time for myself without some kind of stress related to…
Perhaps the most beautiful thing I’ve read in fiction was in Chasm City by Alastair Reynolds1. I finished reading it in July this year, but I am still thinking about it pretty often. It is only a side story of a person called Quirrenbach, the main character Mirabel met on a short travel in a shuttle from the main lightship to a space station.

Big news everyone! I now have my own online shop. Wait, whoa, how did that happen?
As you might know, I hate Google, and I want to remove it from my life as much as I can. So let’s talk about browsers. Chrome is not an option and even if Chromium is fully de-googled, I’m still never going to use it. Why? It reminds me of Google.
In the past few weeks, I unfortunately didn’t find much time to write more for my blog. So today, I have a simple list of awesome books I have in my shelf and found particularly helpful on my journey through chaos theory. If you are on a similar trip, they will definitely teach you a bit more than the typical Wikipedia article.
Happy Pi-Day everyone! When I recently found a postcard I got from a friend some years back, I was hooked. The front showed one of those magic-eye-autostereograms1 you might as well know. You don’t? Well, you have missed loads of joy!2 Wikipedia has a detailed article about how they function and how clever patterns can increase the effects. It might be the case that it is actually impossible for…
Today has come the time for another rant on my part. And no, I will not accept any excuses or opinion-based arguments on this topic. This is a serious issue, and it has to change. OK, what am I talking about?
Good day everyone, it’s been a while since I’ve posted something on this blog, sorry for that. So, what happened in the meantime you may ask? Well, in short:
Printing on high quality paper, especially in the digital age, is a very satisfying thing to do – you can lift it up, feel the weight and texture, and most importantly, you don’t stare directly into the LEDs of a screen. This does not apply to photographs only, but also, who would have thought so, to digital art. I’ve seen a lot of great artists on the internet who create stunning drawings or…
