Steampunk Keyboard II

Yes, the Scrabble keyboard was cool, but this is WAY cooler!



AND, the directions for making your own are on the makers website!
So that means that you could put the keys in the Dvorak Layout. Unfortunately this project appears to be rather complex and requires tools that most people don't have just hanging around. :( BUT, its still pretty cool!

PS I think that the guy lives in or near Groton Ma

Flaming Lotus Girls

Its REALLY hard for me to NOT watch a video with the keywords
industrial arts
sculpture
steel
fire

This is a video about the Flaming Lotus Girls from the West Coast, they make, well, like the keywords say: Industrial art using steel and fire. :) The group is predominantly women, but that's not the point...

Steampunk Cylon

The gang over at DVICE are having a "Steampunk Cylon" contest. Contestants can submit their interpretation of a steampunk Cylon to win.

The example that they give is pretty weak.

I don't like this form of dysfunctional steampunk. Note how the hips attach to the leg, that can't be functional. And notice that the pivot point of the shoulder, well, can't. :( I prefer my steampunk to at least LOOK like it could work.

As I am sure you followed along on the TeamPaulC discussion, Andy is getting a new computer and was asking for advice. Andy, I found the perfect keyboard! The key caps are made from real scrabble keys! And the CAPS lock even glows!
