A Contest, and a little News

I have been terribly remiss not to mention the following Contest regarding “steampunk” appearance, of which I am pleased to be a judge: http://www.koinup.com/contest/secondlifesteampunk/

Said Contest is being run by the Aethernet Pictorial Establishment “Koinup”, and involves Photography of one’s own personal appearance in the “steampunk” style. The Closing Date is the 16th of October, and the Prize at the moment is a “Skye Steampunk Castle”, apparently a most extensive piece of architecture.

In terms of News for the Curious as to my Recent Activities, I fear that actually I have not been as active as I might have been, but I am currently making efforts to become more so. My physician has suggested a course of Coca Extract but I dare say that the man is a little too enamoured of that particular Pharmaceutical; he has recently seemed a little too Obsessively Talkative and of a Suspicious yet Boastful Character, and his most respectable Stomach appears to have receded distinctly. A gentleman of his years and profession should possess a Properly Proportioned Abdomen in my opinion, not the physique of a Peripatetic Youth.

Rejecting these suggestions and concentrating more on Industry, I am currently in the process of constructing a particular model of a Percussion Revolver (with support for the Deadwood area) as well as finishing the Ordinal Extensible Cat, a self-salting device of interest to the Nautical.

In terms of things actually released, one that seems tangentially appropriate to mention is the Languagelab Bubble Emoter, an item that I have created on a Contractual Basis and which is available Free, Gratis and For Nothing at the “Greenies Home” region. Said educational device produces, by means of cunning chemical processes, Drifting Bubbles, which travel to a chosen target and deliver a message in one of a number of different languages. Certain phrases have been carefully and idiomatically translated for use here, and whilst the exact texts may be a tad Modern for some readers, the item may perhaps provide amusement and Informative Linguistics.
