Taking inspiration from the old ticker tape machines of the late ‘800, Adam Vaughan has created the “Twittertape Machine“, a fantastic prototype of a “Twitter-writer” connected to the network that print your tweets keeping you constantly updated.
“No ink or computer is required, simply give the machine power and an Ethernet connection to the internet and it will automatically check Twitter for new tweets every 30 seconds.
Though fully functional, this version is a primarily a prototype and proof of concept. Improvements planned for Version 2 include switching the Ethernet connection to Wifi and integrating a user control panel to enable the selection of multiple web-based data feeds such as RSS or Facebook.” – Adam

Dal sito Quite Earth siamo venuti a conoscenza del concept trailer di un film chiamato Oculista che speriamo possa veder presto la luce. È una sorta di fiaba steampunk, un viaggio misterioso all’interno di una fabbrica in cui gli operai sono in sella a biciclette e pedalando danno energia a qualcosa di sconosciuto; in cambio ricevono “esperienze di piacere ipnotico” con la promessa di vivere, un giorno, nella città dei loro sogni.
From the site Quite Earth, we’ve got a taste of the concept trailer of a film called Oculista, that we hope will see the light soon. It is a steampunk fairy tale, a mysterious travel inside a factory in which workers ride bicycles powering something unknown; in exchange they receive “hypnotic leisure experiences” with the promise to live in the city of their dreams.
Here’s a short description of the trailer:
“Henri Grotowski looks out of the window of an old train speeding through the night with the excitable naivety of someone who has left his small town to make his fortune in the big world; on his lap a battered suitcase and a portable Gramophone. Instead of the ticket inspector, Henri is visited by the mysterious Oculista who offers Henri a look through his magical glasses…”

Questa settimana STEAMPUNK ITALIA vi presenta il tutorial : “COME INTAGLIARE UN INGRANAGGIO NEL LEGNO”
Pubblicato da: Administrator
Tutorial veloce veloce da leccarsi i gomiti (come dicno gli Americani)!
Per creare questo collare con rimandi sia allo steampunk che alla rievocazione vittoriana pura, ci vogliono pochi materiali e molto meno tempo di quanto si pensi:
35 cm di nastro di velluto con colore a piacere (io ho optato per del verde smeraldo)
ago
filo verde
un cameo (ho utilizzato per questo collare uno dei miei camei in resina)
1 bottone a pressione “maschio” da 10 mm
1 bottone a pressione “femmina” da 10 mm
la macchina per chiudere i bottoni automatici (o a pressione che dir si voglia).
Colla a caldo
Prima di tutto ho inserito ai due estremi del nastro i bottoni automatici, facendo in modo che rimanesse il bottone “femmina” interno al nastro. Ho quindi piegato in due il nastro di velluto, cercando quindi il centro del nastro ed ho cominciato a cucire il cameo fino a che ho coperto l’asola d’ingresso del cameo.
Quindi per fermare il nastro e rendere meno “ruvida” la cucitura ho coperto con colla a caldo (questo passaggio è consigliabile per chi ha il collo sensibile ma non è assoutamente indispensabile).
Collarino Vittoriano Steampunk FINITO!
Tenete sempre a mente cari Steamers: Si lavora in sicurezza, quindi SEMPRE con gli strumenti di protezione addosso!
