The New England Wireless and Steam Museum
The New England Wireless and Steam Museum in East Greenwich, RI looks pretty neat. The red building houses the wireless collection. The next building is the Massie Wireless System station, “PJ”, built in 1907. It is the oldest surviving working wireless station in the world. The building in the center houses the stationary steam engine collection. This collection includes the only surviving George H. Corliss engine running under steam today. The Mayes building houses the Mechanical Engineering library and the collection of steam engine models. Link. Thanks Brian!

TotalRewind.org is a virtual museum of VCRs spanning pre-1970 up to the some of the latest systems and formats. Lots of photos, history and tidbits like this: The name Betamax is derived from a Japanese word “Beta”, which apparently means quality (and can also describe the recording system) plus “Max” to imply maximum quality. 
One last little bit of Star Wars posting before the weekend- Great story about the people who made the Millennium Falcon in 1979. In the winter of 1979 word started to spread in Pembroke Dock that a flying saucer was being built in an old giant aircraft hangar in the town. Those involved were sworn to secrecy.
