Here's the strangest steampunk-related (sort of) web site so far:

Got a daughter, wife, girlfriend, hostage?

She can dress a paper doll of Ada Lovelace >here<

When she gets done, she can go on to dress Madame Curie, Cleopatra, Brittany Spears or Lily Cole, among others.

Needless to say, I found this by accident.

Yes. It is a source of pride that we were already planning to include Barsoom before that project was announced. Unfortunately, it puts a bit of a time limit on us (though I'm confident it will be done by 2012!) in that we have a short window of time before images from the movie leak out and Disneyize everyone's idea of what these things should all look like. I prefer Frazetta's images, myself.

I know that you've retired, Wyrm, but if you know of any other interested unit makers, we could use a full unit line of Green Martians and Rykors...

For a recent update about the Barsoom part of this mod, check out the posts I made today in the Map, Civilizations and Units threads in this sub-forum. If Barsoom ever comes together, I could see making a spin off mod of it, easily. Hell, the hardest work would be largely done.....

Could it be any worse than this - http://io9.com/5412228/traci-lords-is-a-princess-of-mars-god-help-us-all?autoplay=true

The budget appears to only support 2-armed tharks! - At least Disney/Pixar have the potential to make nice CGI tharks - I just worry that they'll turn it into too much of a kid/family movie.

O-M-G. And I like Traci Lords, although I prefer her..ahem.. earlier work... That outfit is just awful. We could use it as an example of how NOT to dress Dejah Thoris! Who is properly a brunette, not a blonde. But so is Traci....really....

It's not a case mod. Just a slipcover. Still, very handy for continuing work on the scenario whilst on the Express. Each case is individually "distressed" to ensure uniqueness, according to this article. There is a link to the manufacturers site, which I won't post. Another site with less words, more pictures. Now that the idea's out there... I'd spend the money to find a custom book binder/repairer & have them make one that's truly unique.

For a second it reminded of the scene in close encounters of the third kind where they try to communicate with the aliens by sound. Perhaps there is space for such a device in the Lost Worlds scenario

Can you get iPlayer radio outside the UK? I thought it was for within the UK only - perhaps that's just the video.

Video is completely restricted. Some audio is restricted. I've only been listening to the delayed available shows. I haven't tried listening live.

Ladies gloves with a map of London printed on them, for use during the Great Exhibition. A pun regarding their usefulness is well within my grasp.

If that's not sufficiently detailed then try Victorian London Google Earth.
