After this weekend, I'll be completely done with the National Guard! No longer will I have to support the WA N.G. Festivities to be determined.... At the Wayward I'm apparently becoming more of a social butterfly than outside of my fellow Steamrats. I just don't want to neglect anyone in my growing circle of friends. I really need to work on a gun-mod. There's nothing quite like being able to hold the artwork that emerges before your very eyes.

This weekend was my first Rusty Con, and the theme just happened to be steampunk. I spent most of my time there in my 'gunner' outfit, and of course entered a photo into the costume contest. For voting, the photos were all numbered and displayed, and although I did not win a category, I received a greater reward.

Recently on The Escapist, a website about the video game industry, an off-topic forum post caught my eye. A man by the name of Will Rockwell makes lovely steampunk'd items, most notably a 64GB thumbdrive.  The most newsworthy part of the post seemed to be the price: $1,000. (For reference, the most expensive plain 64GB thumbdrive on Tigerdirect.com is $237.99. www.tigerdirect.com ) The comments varied, but no one appeared interested at that price. Ever being the cad that I am, I chimed in about being able to make, and more importantly -sell-, something comparable at a more reasonable price. Mr. Rockwell created an Escapist account yesterday
