I've titled it "Seasoning" :-)

Breakfast in Babbage - Superhero Special


Heroic poses and too tiny waists, impossible physics and spectacles that convince everyone you're not a superhero. Join Edward Pearse at the Clarendon Lab for this month's Breakfast in Babbage wake-up.

Underpants on the outside are fine as long as they're clean.

Babbage & Lovelace superheroes!

I had a friend send me this link to a webcomic called 2D Goggles.

It looks like it's only new but it's already made me laugh. I hope he continues with this on some sort of regular basis.

The Evolution of Technology



German company Saturn goes through a somewhat interesting view of the evolution of technology. Why is this important? Because of the STEAM POWERED TYRANNOSAURUS REX!

Childhood development is important


We've been told a child's formative years are their most important. What better way to teach budding young sociopaths their alphabet than with a set of wooden alphabet blocks?

Xylocopa has produced A Young Mad Scientist's First Alphabet Blocks to help aspiring youngsters learn word association.

A complete list of the images represented by the letters is as follows:
A - Appendages
B - Bioengineering
C - Caffeine
D - Dirigible
E - Experiment
F - Freeze ray
G - Goggles
H - Henchmen
I - Invention
J - Jargon
K - Potassium
L - Laser
M - Maniacal
N - Nanotechnology
O - Organs
P - Peasants (with Pitchforks)
Q - Quantum physics
R - Robot
S - Self-experimentation
T - Tentacles
U - Underground Lair
V - Virus
W - Wrench
X - X-Ray
Y - You, the Mad Scientist of Tomorrow
Z - Zombies

Brilliant!

Steampunk Quizzness

Your result for The Steampunk Archetype Test...

The Charming Noble


You are surrounded by adventure and mechanical marvels which you helped bring about. You don’t dirty your hands with the details, instead having one of the many engineers, bodgers, and tinkerers under your employ do the work. Your time is better suited for balls and social occasions where you charm and regal bearing makes you the center of attention and you can keep the conversation steered away from the unsettling topic of the anti-royalists who keep posting flyers all over the city.

Take The Steampunk Archetype Test at HelloQuizzy



Your result for The Steampunk Style Test...

The Scientist


You are the Scientist, the embodiment of steampunk’s academic side. Where other technological styles might emphasize the gadgets of the genre, you realize there is more to science than doohickeys and gears. Your accessories are medical bags, test tubes, measuring instruments, and academic papers. You are more likely to carry a compass, quadrant, or ether-attuned spectrometer than a wrench or welding torch. You probably carry a timepiece, and your prolific reading gives you every right to wear spectacles. Perhaps the most distinctive feature of your style is that it combines the frock coats and bustle gowns of the 19th century with the trappings of Victorian science.

Whine & Cheez night



Come down to the Conservatory on Thursday evening for a taste of music you've probabbly forgotten (or may have even been too young to hear the first time). Music that is rarely played, often with good reason. Join Edward Pearse for an evening of fun and merriment.

Be carefull with those time zones

April Fools had pretty much come and gone by the time I got my first message. Now it was obvious enough that it wasn't real, however due to time zone differences I had completely forgotten that April 1st was only just starting for some.

Here's a collection of some of the better examples from around the web today (because I should be studying):

Geek chart

There's been the Geek Hierarchy chart and variants for a while.

However the chart the accompanied the opinion post in the New York Times following the death of Gary Gygax.



With updates including Harry Potter fandom, Lolcats and Second Life, it's a much needed improvement over the previous edition.
