Two entries today! The first is the link format you all know and love; the next will be photo-heavy. To the links we go...
Jake Hildebrandt has built a Telecalculograph that's beyond amazing...and you can win it! (Only if you're in North America, sadly -- but once you see it, you'll understand the shipping difficulties.)
However, over in the UK, White Mischief has just finished up a show and there will probably be many more to come. The site is huge and detailed and fun.
While not confined to the Victorian era, the Memory Palace's podcasts showcase fascinating historical tidbits, and are highly recommended for anyone interested in weird history!
If you're interested in steampunking your computer, this entry on Dintz is for you. Go wild!
Catching up with steampunk around the web...the winners of CG Society's Steampunk Myths & Legends contest have been announced! You can see more details on their site, including this detailed look at Steamnocchio.
EgoPHobia's guest steampunk issue has hit the web. There's all sorts of stuff to explore there (and probably even more if you can read Romanian).
Elizabeth F. sent in the link for Clockwork Couture, which is, of course, all kinds of awesome.
The wondrous brains at SteamGear Lab have created an EyePod. With an eye! Get it? It's totally functional, too.
Finally, Gawker reports (via the Wall Street Journal) that smoking an actual old-fashioned pipe is a cool thing to do amongst the young and hip these days. Who knew?
Jules Verne's birthday was last Sunday (February 8). In honor of the occasion, Vernian Process put out a free EP. See what you think!
The Chap is new to me, but not new to the printing world. An upcoming issue is going to be on those weirdo steampunks. Also, the Cincinnati steampunk group was interviewed last week by Hell in a Handbasket for their next issue. We are everywhere. Muhahahaha.
More steampunk entertainment: design your own steampunky Cylon for a contest (deadline is March 16), send death rays to your archenemies, or just enjoy the beautiful machinations of a cold-drip coffeemaker, depending on your mood and alignment.
In the extremely near future, I'm going to be venturing under Brooklyn to explore its abandoned tunnels! I'll report back when I return.
And finally, on a futurist note: the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) was born last week. Let's hope it brings good to the world.
Catching up with some steampunk links sent in by others: J. Marsocci points to the awesome SteamGearLab (now with a new t-shirt design for the SteamPug! I think everyone should have a SteamPug), and Dan sends in this great article about steampunk and The Golden Compass. Thanks so much, everyone!
For the graphics geniuses amongst us: go forth and compete in the CG Society's steampunk contest, and win prizes for your efforts!
For the epicurians: Fuel for the Boiler: A Steampunk Cookbook. Need anything more be said?
For the tinkerers: a lovely assortment of rayguns.
