About this website
What?
This is the blog of Christian Kliesch. I write about politics, psychology, web design and music. I also occasionally post recipes.
Who?
I’m Christian. (As in my name, not my religion) I was born and raised in Germany, but at the age of 15 found myself in the UK. I’m still here, although I now live in Edinburgh, and am doing a MSC in Evolution of Language and Cognition at Edinburgh University.
I did my undergraduate in Psychology at Glasgow University. I am also very interested in Central and East European Studies, which I took in level one. In my free time I listen to more or less obscure music, read books, play the trumpet, go to concerts… etc. Together with Indra, I hosted a radio show on Subcity Radio. It was called Headlights and we invite guests to talk about politics, psychology and philosophy. We also play great music. Before that I hosted two other shows, Jus de Pomme and Continental Delicatessen.
I also work as a free lancer in web design. I am interested in web standards, accessibility and am a proud Opera user, which is why I was a member of the Glasgow University’s Opera Campus Team during my undergraduate.
Why?
After setting up nodata (formerly at nodata.art-fx.org) and some [rather unsuccessful] attempts of writing a blog, I decided to start antipattern.net to write about music, web design, politics, psychology and, last but not least, my life.
