For those of us who are favored with an understanding of the German language, two rather old writings of mine:
- A short article I was asked to write for a magazine about the Internet. It is written in German.
- A seminar talk for the Physics Deparment at the University of Hamburg: Thermodynamik und Nachhaltigkeit. Also in German.
To keep my creative chaos in reign I also maintain some notes, on things I have done, want to follow up on, or think are interesting in general. Recently, I also started Age of Ignorance to document some of the developments that lead to stifled innovation and the restriction of knowledge.
