Obviously, this being a one-man-show, I cannot cover everything worth knowing that happens on and off the web. So I keep to a wise line from a probably wise person: „If you can't do your own story, link to it!” And this is what this regularly updated post will be about: Links to interesting articles, downloads, ressources, background and maybe even reviews and videos throughout the web: No bull, no bias, just the facts. I reserve the right to later add articles about particularly interesting topics though.
