I want one of each

The Globe's Ideas section has a super-neat article on steampunk projects, including a modified flat-screen monitor and keyboard, made to look like it came straight out of the Victorian age. (Made by the same guy who converted a school bus into an RV.)

I want that keyboard. Absolutely gorgeous.

Separately, Sam Allis has a column on the Brattle Book Shop, which I'd visit more often if I wasn't so terrified of leaving with several armloads of used books and an empty wallet (or an even higher credit card bill).
