Steampunk on ConceptArt

Larry Bonn Phoenix — Fri, 25 Jun 2010 18:50:01 +0000

Mancub from CoceptArt.org presented a few Victorian Era Submersibles The first is [I]H.M.S. Narwhal[I] which is more of a recreation/exploration submarine. The second is the Seppuku, which is used to slice the belly of a ship, sink said vessel, and carry away precious cargo unnoticed while masquerading as a sea monster/hell-bent-crustacean. Both are part of a larger narrative and feature functioning parts.

Great Work!!

Steampunk Screensavers

Larry Bonn Phoenix — Mon, 06 Apr 2009 00:11:56 +0000

In my ongoing fascination with the Neo-Victorian “steampunk” art movement, I have started to become aware of the shear volume of interest there is surrounding the idea. The internet is full of interested individuals, there are a number of newer movies being made that borrow from the same inspirational pool, as well as a few RPG, COSPLAY, and LARP games that have sprung up in the past few years. Yet, despite this, there is a surprisingly small quantity of “steampunk” styled desktop wallpapers (www.steampunkwallpaper.com seems to have the largest collection I’ve seen so far). Even fewer still are the number of steampunk cell phone wallpapers (I still haven’t found a decent source), and steampunk screen savers are all but nonexistent. This got me thinking. Instead of crawling the internet looking for the previously mentioned graphic imagery, why not create my own?

Make thy cheese

Larry Bonn Phoenix — Fri, 03 Apr 2009 03:18:49 +0000

When you buy milk at the grocery store, you probably look pretty carefully at the expiration date. It’s not that it might be bad; it’s that you need to make sure you can finish it all before then. But what if you could just buy a whole gallon and not worry about drinking it all in a week? Making your own cheese means never having to throw out milk again. It means turning all that healthy dairy goodness into a yummy, preserved-milk treat.
.
Cheese is essentially fermented milk, and fermentation makes milk last a whole lot longer. Certain heat-resistant bacteria produce acid when milk is heated, and this acid prevents harmful bacteria from growing. Instead of the milk lasting about a week, cheese lasts months to years. That’s how cheese making evolved thousands of years ago, most likely by accident in especially hot climates when milk simply got so warm it congealed into yogurt, and then aged into cheese. Animals like cows and goats only produced milk during certain times of the year. When it turned out the congealed milk didn’t hurt anyone, cheese making became a way of preserving extra milk so people could consume it all year long.

Here are some links about cheese making/
