This morning's myriad-distractions-in-a-single-click was the show at the Oxford Science Museum devoted to Steampunk.
There's a great range: elegant Jules Verne-esque watches and futuristic Wallace & Gromit-style characters, all kinds of lenses and shiny measuring contraptions, and the kind of machines and devices that you reckon must whirl around in the head of Terry Gilliam or Guillermo del Toro.But for those of us who sit before a computer all day, do keyboards get more atmospheric than this one by Datamancer, which started life as an IBM Model M-15 split ergonomic keyboard.
I guess really it should be in the shop of a mad inventor, or an occult pharmacist...
Aaaah, shiny...
Anyhoo, tomorrow brings a friend to Baltimore, and so shall begin a few days of hanging out with no particular intent... love those kinda days.
Have a lovely weekend :-)

The Clangers to to War!
Not that they ever would mind, its just "if" they did I guess that this is what they "might" wear, I mean its not that I think its likely or anything, of course not, what sort of person even imagines that the Clangers could do such a thing.....
I might just let Grainne respond to this one :-)
