If you like your Steampunk art to take flights of soft-edged fancy, where teapot towns and trumpet space stations sit side by side with steamtrain-blimps and submersible cars, then the work of Glovackij will be right up your curvy cobbled street!  (Where else can you find gear powered space villages, complete with bus?)
I fully admit [...]

A while ago we looked at a rather impressive Instructable on how to make a mad scientist light – and it looked very fetching indeed! But I where to get appropriate bulbs – a few people made suggestions after that post and I looked into it myself, so we’ve got a couple of places [...]

I have a weakness; a weakness for both airships and kittens, and while it might sound like quite possibly the most soggy-upper-lipped thing ever, I have an inexplicable desire to see the two united – kittens in airships, truly my dream.
So imagine my complete and perfect astonishment to read about Ms Kiddo, a mascot kitten [...]

VGRj0nV-ZVENow, there are others who know far more about this black and white film from 1958, but for those of us for whom this is new, The Fabulous World of Jules Verne is a delightful find.  Reader Zobop sent the link to the trailer, and it just makes me grin from ear to ear – [...]

Mr Christian found a simply marvellous site today!  It’s the webpage (in French, but there are copious images) of a model maker called Nemotechnik – and as you might imagine, there’s a lot of Jules Verne inspired models!  From images of the balloon from “Five Weeks in a Balloon” to the above model from “From [...]

Mr Tretakoff points out a tiny, but amusing Yahoo Widget that a Mr J Kendall has written called the “Steam Gage“.  It sits apon your desktop and informs you of your CPU usage, but should it get too high, it’ll start to steam and shake most alarmingly!
According to the comments, it’s a bit too small [...]

Mr Stephen P pointed out that the artist responsible for lovely Christmas cards last year, has this year posted on her Livejournal, the black and white poster that’s she’s drawn for an upcoming event in Austin, Texas with a serious Steampunk theme!
It’s an SXSW music event in on the 12th of March, but I profess [...]

Maintenance over and done with.  Apologies to anyone who had to suffer the white page of doom while the transfer occurred.  You may notice that we’re now using the address “www.brassgoggles.co.uk” for both the forum and for here at the Brass Goggles blog.  All your old links should still work, however.
Many thanks!
Tinkergirl.
Good evening,
Just to let [...]

I have no inkling whatsoever as to what it does, but I like it. It’s the Kardia Mechanicus (gallery), made by Ejectorhead (caution, some gory images elsewhere on their Livejournal), as a present for a very fortunate companion. (There are several more photographs in the gallery.)
I can make out some cogs within the [...]

Ok, so I’ve posted about the Nautilus styled screensavers before, but reader Daniel wrote to point out that the previously $15 screensaver can be downloaded for free from Giveaway of the Day, for the next 14hrs and 30minutes (and counting). From what I can see, the only requirement is that you install it before [...]
