Don sez, "This guy has over a hundred excellent videos of Old School AV and other electronic equipment. The world's first Credit Card Calculator! The first (pre-BetaMax) VCRs! Wacky little tape recorders that they blew up on "Mission Impossible"! All that stuff that was once futuristic but is now only of the nostalgic future that was." God I wanted this credit-card-sized computer when I first saw it in the glossy pages of the computer press. I still have no idea what I would have done with it. MKKIANI - YouTube

Ranjana sez, "I'm a Bournemouth University postgraduate student and I'm producing a short but ambitious steampunk drama for my Masters project and I'm looking for a few props for our film: steampunk radio; wrist communicator device; steampunk guns; other general props. Could you please ask your steampunk readers in the UK if they have any of the props, I could perhaps borrow for a small deposit along with an invite for the owner(s) of the prop to feature in our film."

Today, and every May 25th, is known as Towel Day. It's a geeky holiday set aside to celebrate the life and works of Douglas Adams, author of The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. The main thing is to take your towel with you. Oh, any towel will do, but if you want to have special towels for next year's Towel Day, you can get these embroidered hand towels from Etsy seller Heritage Embroidery. It's just one of the items from a long list of Towel Day products, memes, and art you'll see at The Daily Dot. Link

Rachel writes, "My chap and I are dedicated steampunks and geeks. My chap Andy also happens to be the owner of a very tidy laser cutter! Put the two together and you end up with our fabulous tribute to Nikola Tesla in the form of a beautiful laser etched vase entitled Souvenir of Wardenclyffe featuring a super illustration via Leo Blanchette. The back of the vase is also etched using a sample of Tesla's own handwriting!" Nikola Tesla Souvenir of Wardenclyffe Laser etched Vase Steampunk (Thanks, Rachel)

From Make: "Graphic designer Lucy Sansom turned her sister into a human theremin and then made this video demonstrating how she is played." She wrote, "Using conductive ink, theremin circuitry, and a nice little amp, I made my sister into a fully functioning musical instrument." [via clifyt]
