This fantastic work was done by Bruce and Melanie Rosenbaum of Modern Victorian Home Restoration. Way to go!...
As is apparent from my blog post a few weeks ago, I just built a new computer and it needed a new operating system installed on it. For this, I chose to install the latest, greatest, most powerful modern operating system on the planet. No, it’s not Windows 7, silly...

I must say that Microsoft’s marketing department is Microsoft’s own worst enemy. I don’t know who came up with the idea of a “Windows 7 Launch Party”, but they either a) had no idea what they were doing or b) are secretly plotting to destroy Microsoft form the inside (kudos...
I just ran across these rather cool Steampunk goggles and thought I should post. They are fairly well priced, given the quality of workmanship (at least, from the pictures), so go ahead and check it out on etsy.com. And while we are on the subject, check out these other steampunk...
