Steampunk exhibition documentary
Here’s a very nice bit of video documenting the recent Steampunk exhibition at the Museum of the History of Science, University of Oxford. Steampunk Art @ Oxford

Steampunkin!
Hans Scharler just submitted this cool hack-‘o’-lantern to our Make: Halloween Contest 2009. It includes a motion detector, some LEDs, and a fog machine, and when someone approaches it lights up and shoots “steam” out of its ears.
Steampunk cakes
Gears, clocks, metallic icing, and fondant made me smile at Cake Wrecks’ roundup of steampunk cakes. [Thanks, Rachel!]
Dental training mannequins
These impossibly creepy artifacts are dental training mannequins collected by Steve Erenberg of Radio Guy. Be warned, Steve’s site is chockablock with incredible medical, scientific, and industrial antiques he’s collected, mostly from the 19th and early 20th centuries, and is a major click-trap.
Steampunk art exhibit opens today in Oxford
Here’s by way of a can-we-still-be-friends for those annoyed by yesterday’s steampunk toilet post. The Museum of the History of Science at Oxford’s Old Ashmolean building is hosting an exhibit of contemporary steampunk art curated by Art Donovan. It runs from today until February 21, 2010. If you’re interested in steampunk and you’re anywhere near the UK during that time it’s probably worth checking out.
Steampunk has jumped the shark
I stole this post title and all from Tiffany of Curious Goods.
