This is awesome! That has got to be the COOLEST Steampunked wristwatch I have ever seen!! Granted it would probably look a little better more brass, but you get extra points for using gauges to both tell time and check the status of the mechanism itself. Sweet!!

Its the first cockpit design for the apollo lander, the NASA engineers finally disbanded this design for a new fangled technology known as the semi-conductor. The astronauts where much more happy with the Semi-conductor idea, as the often claimed that they were burning them selves on the steam pipes on the old design. One astronaut when asked about the cockpit design he said “I was elated, ecstatic and extremely surprised that we were successful”.

this if i remember correctly is the inner workings of a women’s uterus. women always say we put their buttons, well it’s hard not to look at all those buttons and switches and valves it’s bound to happen sometime, and you see that small door? thats where when the women is pregnant the kid may walk around and monitor the equipment, except he isnt very good at it all the time and messes up, hence mood swings, vomiting, and other negative attributes of pregnancy. what they need to do is update to an all digital version, i suggest linux

i would get as many as i could of these

I tried though the dialtone is coming, if we dial the dialtone does not go and the number cannot be dialled and there is no light indication when you pickup the receiver.

[...] move it up and down you control the volume, right and left adjusts the tuning. We have seen some other fun music players that use physical movement to interact with them, I think there is a use for this technology other than just the cool novelty [...]

I haven’t seen one of those in a long time. That is one of the first computer systems, way before ones and zeros were thought about. This system used various levels of fluid to perform calculations. 5 liters of water plus 5 liters of water is 10 liters. You would use the crank handles on the left to enter the volume desired and the large red knob to calculate (combine the liquids) the result. Notice everything is in duplicate, that is to enter both sides of the equation.

I need a new keyboard, my last one got damaged when I spilled a drink into it. I would get this waterproof keyboard so that never happens again…
