I toss the steampunk moniker around very loosely. Which is because I’m hip. The complete instructions are here. You’ll need steampunk punches. I guess that run on steam.

Dear People of Earth,

I hope this note finds you well. Thought you might find this interesting:
“Ten:Ten” started in the UK and is now world wide. They offer information which allows you to calculate your current personal carbon foot print, and reduce it by 10% before the end of 2010.
So, you’ve got nine months to work on this baby.
And I know that humans can do a lot with nine months.
Best Regards,
David

Lunar Impact This Friday
October 7th, 2009 @ 23:13Posted by: David
LUNAR IMPACT: This Friday morning, Oct 9th, at approximately 4:30 am PDT, NASA’s LCROSS spacecraft and its Centaur booster rocket will plunge one after another into a shadowed crater near the Moon’s south pole. The spectacular double-impact will be shown live on NASA TV from the point of view of the LCROSS spacecraft. Meanwhile, impact debris plumes emerging from the crater may be visible through backyard telescopes. North American sky watchers west of the Mississippi river are favored with darkness and good views of the Moon at the time of impact.

Sky Tonight
February 27th, 2009 @ 09:56Posted by: David
The weather is nuts here in Tropical Texas with fog each morning and a beautiful clear sky at sunset; which continues for a few hours into the night, followed by fog.
So if you have a clear sunset this evening, remember to watch the conjunction of Venus with the cresent Moon above the western horizon in the early twilight. Very beautiful. And if you have clear dark sky above you, look for the green comet in the southeast, and golden Saturn in the east.
