I found this amazing little find today for those who are on the maker side of Steampunk.  Should your project require use of a sync cable for an iPod, iPhone, or iPad, I found this ready-made solution for you.  It also happens to be about $5.00(USD) less than the apple product.

Head on down to Eastern Collective and have a look.  While your at it, if you need other cabling ideas check our forum thread located Here .

Interesting idea at the very least:

So I’m a little shocked that our friends at Abney Park and Vernian Process did not mention to me that they will both be appearing at a venue called Steamstock on October 7th in Richmond, CA.

To be honest, I didn’t know Steamstock was even a thing until I came accross it in Steampunk Facebook Page ( Found by Clicking Here ).

 

 

Details about Steamstock can be found by going to http://www.steamstock.org/

 

The latest book in the Dr. Grordbort universe is out. Created by Greg Broadmore, it’s a romp through the cosmos with Lord Cockswain..
