Steampunk Christmas Ideas: Tesla Vinyl Figure

Mar 11, 2012 // by Bob // Blog // No Comments

This handsome fellow is a 3 inch vinyl replica of the man who literally invented the Modern Age, second only to Charles Babbage and but one step above Isambard Kingdom Brunel in my book. Nikola Tesla deserves a place of honor in a Steampunk Home. He runs $6.45 which isn’t a bad price.

As for a brief review on him. I only have two complaints. 1. Why is he only 3 inches tall? I would love for this to be about 6 to 7 inches tall. 2. Why is this not a lamp! His glowing ball of Florescent light should be spewing it’s Alternating Current of Justice to illuminate my desk!

Brunel, by The Men That Will Not Be Blamed For Nothing!

Feb 20, 2012 // by Bob // Blog // No Comments

I was looking for a musical gem to post, and I found that … and more! The Men That Will Not Be Blamed For Nothing released a fantastic selection (from their upcoming work, I postulate), titled “Brunel”. Not only did I enjoy it because it reminded me of the catchy tunes I’d listen to back in “punk” days (no, not “Steampunk”, but the original “punk”), but it also indulges in another, less recognized icon of Steampunk, the Honorable Mr. Isambard Kingdom Brunel. Quite the genius, he doesn’t have the recognition that Mr. Tesla has, but was quite the character! After you indulge in the single, feel free to take a jaunt to his Wikipedia entry, at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isambard_Kingdom_Brunel

Also, The Men That Will Not Be Blamed For Nothing will release their new album next month! To keep track of their goings on, please consider visiting…
