Not just [...] When we did our last show at the Exploratorium I did a video interview with Wired about what The Neuron Chamber was and how it worked. I loved that they wanted me to explain in detail how it worked and not just give a 5 second sound bite. Well the video just went live and [...] Our man David Shulman delivers the straight dope on the RGR in this interview for Time — that “dielectric barrier discharge” he’s talking about is our Uira Engine.

Was that 40-foot-tall rocket ship [...] My friends … my crew. I come in at around 1:30 mins. Check out this Cnet article on the RGR, featuring a very garbled explanation of the Uira Engines drive mechanism. I had no idea this guy was shooting video with his DSLR.

There is also a shot of the Dihemispheric Chronaether [...] Check out the post on the Make blog about the Raygun Gothic Rocket featuring video by Almost Scientific!: My pal Corbett over at Instinct Engineering just let me know that Almost Scientific and The Neuron Chamber were featured on the Solid Works design blog Solid Smack.

Take a few minutes out of your day and watch this Make video featuring him. Reuben and I are fellow member of Applied Kinetic Arts. Speaking of AKA, we are doing another show at Maker Faire this year and Almost Scientific will be installing The [...] Last week NBC news interviewed Me, Sean O, Tom Sepe and Oliver Lowe (of ReSearch, who is working on a book about Steampunk) about steam-stuff. Tom give a nice interview about his steam-powered scooter. While none of the interview of Me or Sean is shown (I think we might have been a bit too snarky at 7am) [...] Romanian culture magazine EgoPhobia recently did a long interview with my shop-mate and Treehouse collaborator Sean Orlando about the Steampunk Treehouse and the ideas behind Steampunk.

Sean give an extended response to the hub-bub about the death of steampunk that went down in Design [...] While scrolling though Boing-Boing today I came across a post to a Steampunk article that mentioned our Steampunk Treehouse.
