In 1933 a biplane flew at the Oakland airpont using a 150 hp two cylinder steam engine. Who says airships are the only steampunk form of air transport?

Please Stand By....
I'm making some adjustments on the old blog. I'm hoping to get back to posting on a more regular basis. I'm trying to get Know Future back to its original intent of contrasting the future we were promised with the one we are likely to get. More whimsical post (which seem to be about either British Sci-Fi or cake will be spun off into their very own Blog... Tea and Cake or Daleks! Click on the title to go there (although there is not much there there.)

Maker Faire 2009
I went to the Maker Faire on Sunday.
the r/c naval battles were back again and were very popular.
Also back in force were the steampunks, and about any kind of robot you could imagine.
The R2d2 builders have several full-sized Artoos in various stages of completion. There were also a number of Telsa coils on display. The UC Santa Cruz physics department put on a very fun show with their tesla coil.

Maker Profile - Steampunk on MAKE: television from make magazine on Vimeo.
The DIY philosophy of Make TV meshes well with steampunk so its no surprise that they're featuring the creator of the steampunk keyboard and other items.

Spiker is Australian for robot
Actually, SPIKER stands for Special Purpose IED Killer Experimental Robot. I think Spiker is a cool name (especially when said with an Aussie accent) but does the Ministry of Defense really want the words "Killer Experimental Robot" in their robot's name? Click on the post title to read more.
