The Unbearable Idiocy of People
I have an annoying problem: I’m often polite to idiots. I don’t know where I caught it, and why it keeps recurring, but it’s an unpleasant issue. Now, I’m used to being treated in a condescending “you don’t belong in this shop” kind of way by some people. I have long hair and a beard, [...]

Eleven Saints
And now for some music with Jason Webley and Jay Thompson. (“These people watched too much Monty Python growing up.” – our friend Sebastian, upon seeing this.) Enjoy the insanity! P.S. The reason cats do not go to heaven is because it’s not fancy enough for them.

And another new site…
So today you get two new sites instead of just one. As if the wonderfulness that is Bob the Spider wasn’t enough, now you can also follow Verena’s blogging on her own page. If you don’t know who Verena is, well, she’s a very funny writer, the person who created the graphics for Desert Bridge, [...]

Jonas Kyratzes Proudly Presents…
The internet has just entered a new era. When a truly great individual comes into the world, everything changes – and after this day, the world will never be the same again*. Your life will never be the same again. Ice cream will never look the same again. Stephen Fry will never taste the same [...]

So what now?
The last few weeks have been extremely eventful. We went to Greece, my cousin got married, I had a lot to do at work, I made the Phenomenon 32 preview, and so on. And we got married. (Yay!) So what’s coming up from this small corner of the planet? Quite a lot, but I can’t [...]

Married! (now with photos)
As of yesterday, Verena and I are married. And yes, that is awesome. Regular updating will begin again on Sunday. For now, a nice dinner with my cousins and our friend Ivo, and tomorrow the grand wedding feast.

Local Homes for Local People. Germany to the Germans. Are we in V for Vendetta?
So, the supposedly “liberal” government of Gordon Brown (whom a whole lot of people are still fawning about) has now decided that they need new legislation to protect social housing from evil immigrants. [from Britain: Government housing bill promotes nationalist “local homes” policy] Introducing the government’s new legislative programme for housing, Brown claimed its intention [...]

Harold Bloom and the Death of Art
“Poetry fettered fetters the human race. Nations are destroyed, or flourish, in proportion as their poetry, painting, and music are destroyed or flourish!” – William Blake Let’s start with this: an excellent article by Stephen King on Harry Potter and reading in modern society. [Warning: do not read it if you haven't read the Potter [...]

Phenomenon 32 Preview
Any help in spreading the word will be appreciated greatly. You know how it is for indie developers – lacking oversized and overpaid PR departments, we rely absolutely on the support of our fans and friends. (And yes, quite obviously I could not bring myself to do a “straight” preview. But I rather like this.)
