The First Steampunk Piece
This is my first attempt at Steampunkery. It's the lid of a little tin I got at the craft store for a dollar. I used the template I found here just as it was, printed with a laser printer on glossy photo paper and then transferred to the tin lid.
I'm going to make a tutorial video as soon as I have a tried and true method to my mad science.

Bargain CD Friday: Emotional Joystick
Emotional Joystick
Bellicose Pacific
(myspace link only, sad panda)
It was impossible for me not to pick up a CD with this cover. And only $1! It's fairly peppy bit-music, which is to say, I like it. Samples and beeps mostly in lovely melodic arrangements. Reminds me a bit of Little Cat (Incomprehensible web site here, CDBaby Link here.) Some time I will do a whole post about Little Cat, an artist I discovered because Amazon told me I would like them, and by jove they were correct.
More bands should use visualizers in their music videos. Some music videos I've seen have little correlation whatsoever to the music they accompany.
Here are a couple of the tracks from this albums I most enjoyed, hope you do too.

Steampunk Fonts: Volume I
I was looking around the internet, or the "aether" as some folks have it, for Steampunkish fonts to use for a copper etching project. Finding none, I decided to collect some of my own. I found these on Acidfonts.com, which is a great site for free fonts but leaves something to be desired in the way of categorisation.
Thus far I have done some sifting, as you can see I have no fonts later than letter G. Hence, Volume I.
I hope you find these useful:
