However! We get back on schedule by catching up with some overdue links, including two sent by the Graveworm:
- Video iPod: An Improvement on H.G. Wells' 1899 Device?
- a man uses scrap cars to create abbey gargoyles.
Speaking of cars, the Drive Back in Time website, while not strictly Victorian, is a lovely homage to the vehicles of yesteryear. For true Victorian (or Neo-Victorian) wheeling of urchins, the Pramulator is all you could wish for.
Two links I've held onto for ages, waiting for the right time:

- EPIC, a short movie of sorts, imagines the future of communication.
An assortment of retro phones finishes out today's post. You can choose from several versions by Mockia or try to construct your own Port-O-Rotary as seen on SparkFun.
Updates will be more frequent, and may follow a theme on certain days if the audience so desires.
