The steampunk link of the week is, of course, the beautiful Mac Mini that was customized as a wedding gift. It's beautiful, and the "lid" design is one of my favorite parts! Apple should look into that as a retro logo.
I had read bits and pieces of a pneumatic travel system in the 19th century, but the wonderful Damn Interesting has consolidated the parts into a fantastic article on New York City's pneumatic transit system of the 1870s. I envy the people who had the chance to try it out!

Steampunk Magazine just came out with its third issue, and you should read the back issues, too.
John Danforth makes daguerrotypes out of modern images, and they are amazing.
The Mad Scientists make trivets using computer chips, and they are also amazing!
