Hardly any other technological change has crept into our everyday lives as quickly as artificial intelligence. What was considered a visionary technology of the future yesterday is already a reality today - whether in texting, programming, diagnosing, translating or even creating music, art or legal briefs.

Dental cleaning - sensible or excessive? A differentiated view
Professional dental cleanings are now considered a standard recommendation - it is often suggested that they should be carried out every 6 months or even every 3 months. Those who can afford it (or have good supplementary dental insurance) are often praised. But how useful is it really? The answer, as so often, is: it depends.
Lithium: The forgotten trace element? A look at microdosing
When you hear the word lithium, many people first think of modern rechargeable batteries, battery technology or - with a skeptical eye - psychotropic drugs. But lithium is actually much more than that: it is a naturally occurring trace element that has been present in our environment since time immemorial - in rocks, in water and also in small quantities in plant-based foods.
FileMaker Conference 2025: AI, community and an unexpected incident
The FileMaker Conference 2025 in Hamburg is over - and it was a special milestone in many respects. Not only because this year's conference focused on many topics related to artificial intelligence, performance and modern workflows - but also because the personal exchange and the "family atmosphere" of the FileMaker community once again came into its own. For me personally, it was an intensive, inspiring and all-round enriching time - right from the very first evening.
MCS: When life forces you to move for the third time
I am writing these lines from a vacation apartment in Pilsen, Czech Republic. It's a simple, clearly structured place. Kitchen, WLAN, a good table to work at. Everything I need - no more, no less. I'm not here because I'm on vacation. I'm also not here to follow a whim or start a new chapter. I'm here because I had to.
How I wrote five books in two languages in four months
...and why this is not a miracle, but the result of a clear strategy
For a long time, writing books was seen as something tedious - a lonely project that drags on for months or even years. But what if you let go of this image? What if you rethink writing - with a clear focus, well thought-out processes and targeted use of AI?
In my new book "Writing books 2.0 - a practical guide for authors in the age of AI" I describe exactly this path. A path that has enabled me to write five books in just four months, publish them in two languages - and not accept any loss of quality compared to traditional publishing.
In-depth books on medicine, personality and technology from M. Schall Verlag
It is with great pleasure that I am introducing my own publishing house to you today: Schall-Verlag. After many years as an entrepreneur, developer and author, it was time for me to open a new chapter - in the truest sense of the word. Schall-Verlag is not an anonymous publishing platform, but a personal project with a clear, independent approach and high quality standards. Books are published here that get to the heart of the matter without pandering to the zeitgeist. Books that inform, inspire - and sometimes even irritate.
Health tips (not only) for FileMaker users
The development of the gFM-Business ERP software has been a little slower than usual over the last year and a half because, as the developer of the software, I had to deal with some strange symptoms of illness where it was not so easy to find the cause. Even though conventional medicine was no real help in my case, with the active support of a few alternative practitioners and a holistic dentist, I was able to find the causes and eliminate my problems. Because the results of this research are so interesting, I have decided to write a short article about it here so that you as a reader can also benefit from it. Below you will find my top favorites as pure tips, I do not earn anything from the referral and do not use any ref links.
