05.28.08 by Cosette @ 4:46 pm  Okay, full disclosure first: We don't actually have a KitchenAid mixer here in the Technocave (nor in its attached compound). They are wonderous things, however, and I almost one to rush out and buy one because I'm inspired. Inspired to PIMP A MIXER!! FlameKA.com makes artisan bread, and felt that the mixers they were using were just too ordinary and needed some pizazz. Thus, the flame mixer decals were born. You can buy their flame decals (and others, including roses, chili peppers, butterflies, and my favorite, one that makes your mixer look like a shark bomber from WWII) here. They also have a gallery of other pimped-out mixers, including Joel Cory's shown above here. Categorized as: Gear

05.14.08 by Widge @ 9:02 pm  Okay, so ThinkGeek is selling the officially licensed Indiana Jones hat. Why is this hat different from other hats that might look and feel a lot like it? ThinkGeek sez: There are other licensed hats out there, but they are only wool felt. This one is 100% fur felt - just like the real 'hero' hat - because you deserve to be the hero.
Of course, as everybody knows, we don't need another hero. But you could use another wicked hat. To buy yours, go here. After all, you can thumb your nose at all those wool felt hatters on opening night of Crystal Skull. In fact, feel free to call them that. I'd like "wool felt hatters" to enter the vocabulary as a derogatory term. Categorized as: Gear

04.26.08 by ScottC @ 9:52 pm  You have to attend the Industrial Radical Party fund raiser tonight but you'd been in the workshop all day. You reek of hydraulic fluid and solder from constructing the riot automata in time for the Royal Ascot horse race. All those toffs in one place are begging for a bit of the old ultraviolence. And that is nothing to compare to Victor's odor with his experiments with electrical fluid and… body parts. What is a young steampunk to do to cover those malodorous vapors? The Phoenix Steamworks is the answer. The newest division of the venerable Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab, their perfumers create fragrances that evoke an Age of Steam where analytical engines hum in calculation, metal automata mimic God's creations, and mad scientists run headlong to new and dangerous knowledge. Whether you want the opaque haziness of Ether or the dark heaviness of Smokestack, you are sure to get appreciative smiles when you reach for that glass of absinthe. Categorized as: Gear

04.08.08 by Widge @ 3:15 am  Have we ever talked about something that qualifies as morbid whimsy that's a lamp? I don't remember. But this certainly fits: an anthropomorphized lightbulb on the gallows. If you own one of these, do you get to say "Dead bulb walking" on your way to change out the light? Categorized as: Gear
