3:02PM - Steampunked Star Wars action figures

Yes, yes, I know... there have been Steampunk Star Wars action figures before, but SILOFF's WORKSHOP has just released a series of new ones and, as you see, they're breathtaking!

Found via BoingBoing

7:42PM - The 1870's were so pretty.

First of all, I found another tutorial on how to make some lovely goggles. Not my favorite that I've yet seen, but they seem simple enough to put together, and really are pretty nice looking. Enjoy!

However, the main piece of wonderful brassy tech I wished to share with you all is this.

I saw this beautiful Danish wonder some time ago, and just now found it again. I'm sure many of you must have seen it before, but it there a single person who hasn't had the chance to view it before, then I've done my job.

Aside from the exceptionally eccentric design, the fact that Hansen's device is completely brass truly makes for something special. It's only a shame that the typing ball never caught on! Nonetheless, felicitations to Mr. Hansen for his design, and for being a part of what got me re-interested in Steampunk a few months ago!
