Steampunky!

You guys should check out Google's homepage today. :D It's redecorated in honor of Jules Verne's birthday. And it's interactive; you can steer with the little red-topped lever! NARWHALS!

Oh I saw that, but I didn't realize what it was about. :) Thanks.

I didn't realize you could steer it either - that's pretty cool. :D

It's so fun! I hope they do more like this -- the interactivity bit, I mean. What a neat idea!

YAY!

Also, I have a box of stuff for you!

Ooh! Yay! Stuff! I have a check for you, too. What are you doing tomorrow? I'm coming into town in the morning to run some errands. Except, er. I can't do your driveway at this time of year if it needs 4wd; we have a little car.

This is definitely one of my favorites so far. :)

I saw it but I didn't know the significance. Thanks for the heads up.

I thought of you when I saw the trailer for the new movie "Cowboys and Aliens." It might be complete garbage (though anything with the beautiful Daniel Craig is worth a look) but it seemed like it was along the steampunk line.

Hee! It looks silly but fun. I'm kind of on the fence about steampunk; I really love the general idea, but actually dislike most of what's out there that's labeled steampunk. But I like movies and books and such that are in one genre with elements of another -- aliens and cowboys sounds like something that I would get a kick out of, as long as it doesn't totally suck. :D

I had no idea what the occasion was, I was wondering why Google went with a steampunk theme. It was pretty! Alas, I went to look at it again and try the interactive component but it's gone; it's already Wednesday here.

Someone on my flist just reported that a coworker in her office had never heard of Jules Verne.

Oh! Bummer! Well, you already saw most of it, though. It pans down and you can see other sea creatures, fish and narwhals and such.

Never heard of Jules Verne? REALLY? *boggles*
