Dear Mr Tesla,

I’m deeply sorry for missing your birthday on the 10th of July, and the unveiling of your second monument at the Niagara Falls. I must say, however, how dashing you look for someone of the grand old age of 150, standing atop your alternating current motor there, and scribbling in the mud with your cane. I have to thank the Make:Blog for pointing out the occasion of your celebration, and while Make quips that if Makers had a god, it would be you – I think that Steampunk fans have just as much affection for you and your many brilliant inventions as any.

Hope you had a lovely party, and maybe I can make it for your 200th,

Brass Goggles.
