After a long absence, the HMS Astrolabe finally makes port again! Steamy news for this fortnight includes items regarding Penguicon, the BUST Spring Craftacular, Costume-Con, The Silicon Valley Computer History Musem, Bazaar Bizarre, Maker Faire, and the Seattle Steamrats. Online delights include gears, vintage projects, simulated wood-grain, and the many offerings of Datamancer. This visit also contains another installment of Six Score and Twenty from Matt Wallace, a new vintage vocabulary lesson, a cautionary tale from Helljack, and a disturbing message. The salon today is a discussion with author Mur Lafferty.
