Hello! We're having some technical difficulties today, so hopefully this transmission will go through in one piece.

Did you know that MAKE Magazine has a channel on YouTube? And that Jake von Slatt has an episode?

I am always behind on Second Life happenings, but they're having a contest in which writers are invited to create a steampunky twist to a Grimm fairytale. Ooooh.

Facebook is becoming quite the gathering place for steampunks. The Steampunk Tribune has compiled a list!

And finally, a look at new books in the coming year. I discovered that the second book in Mark Hodder's Burton & Swinburne series is out in March and pre-ordered it already! Huzzah!
