Hi, my name is Johannes Emerich and this is my personal website.
You seem to be visiting with a user agent that is incapable of or unwilling to make use of this site’s CSS. You are welcome to keep reading this version of the page, but are adviced to make use of the overview page for easier navigation.
I am a student in the Master of Logic programme at the Institute of Logic, Language and Computation in Amsterdam. My academic interest centers on the question how rationality relates to the good life. I hold a degree in Cognitive Science from the University of Osnabrück.
While reading a book on wabi-sabi I got interested in the idea of providing visual guidance in a website more through its actual usage than preconceived structuring. Thus this index of my website is but a long block of connected text with hyperlinks in it. The number of clicks on each of the links is being counted and used to generate a heat map. See the above legend for information about the color codes. If you find this annoying, please use this overview.
For my Bachelor’s thesis I have written a Java-to-JavaScript compiler, hobbes, which I intend to open source soon. For now you can see a simple demo of hobbes. Years ago I have created Counting Sheep, a simple shutdown timer for Mac OS X’s Dashboard. It is big in Japan and I am currently working on version 2.
This webserver carries some older documents, like a list of dilly German words, a collection of poems by Jens Münch, an overview of past musical activities and a gallery of the transeuropean Le Gers phenomenon.
