Cocoaheads Aachen

Yesterday evening was the first meeting of [Cocoaheads Aachen][cha]. The entire thing is an informal meeting for people who develop with [Cocoa][cocoa] in the Aachen region. It’s being held by RWTH Aachen’s [Media Computer Group][mcg], but is open for anyone who is not at the RWTH as well.

New Comic Section

One of the plans when building the [gallery for railroad pictures][train] was to move the comics over there as well. I finally did that, the new section is under the old link http://ferroequinologist.de/en/comics.

On the Rainslick Precipice of Darkness

What a week. First of all, we had [Star Wars Legacy of the Force: Invincible][inv]. Then there was [Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystall Skull][indy]. Now, I finally finished [Penny Arcade][pa]’s game [On The Rainslick Precipice of Darkness Episode One][rainslick]. As a short summary: The game isn’t Indy, but it’s still lots of fun.

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

Fun fact: I had to look up the movie’s title, because I was only calling it Indiana Jones 4. Anyway, I just returned from the cinema.

Star Wars Legacy Of The Force: Invincible

I just finished reading the last part of the Star Wars Legacy of the Force series, called Invincible. For those of you will still read this book, this contains spoilers. For those of you who don’t know what I’m talking about, this will be boring.

The train in the game looks vaguely familiar

I haven’t updated my other website project, [Trains In Games][tig] as much as I should, I know. I guess I’ll have to think of something for the site to make it more attractive for others that doesn’t involve me working more, because me working more didn’t work so far. However, I have a new (short) review online now!

Wieso die Modellbahnbranche in Schwierigkeiten steckt

In the Eisenbahnkurier, a german railroad magazine, there is a low-volume discussion about why there are too little new people interested in model railroads. Everybody agrees about the general problem, which is that too little young people and children enter the hobby and stay there. The question remains: Why? As a more or less young person who is interested in model railroads, I thought I’d offer my point of view about this as well.
