Ok, i LOVE the design details in science fiction. This morning i was so half awake, i started things off catching up on the new Syfy show Warehouse 13 to ease into things... and couldn't help but fixate on the STEAMPUNK WACOM TABLET! I mean i love all the bizarre archaic gadgetry (Wired has a nice look at them)... but its the tablet and keyboard that got me first. Also... i love how small the internet is, while looking up past steampunk keyboard, found out that the keyboard was made by Datamancer - "prestidigital datamancery & paraphrenalic technofetishism" ~ and the exact keyboard in the show is "the Sojourner keyboard I built for my girlfriend 2 Christmases ago" - and he "hope[s] the show becomes very popular so they commission me to build them some more elaborate contraptions for future seasons (I'm actually designing a Version 2.0 of my old Computational Engine PC right now with them in mind)"... So fun to hear how these shows pull in awesome design for even the tiniest details... see more pics on the next page!

p.s.
it was driving me a little nuts when they made it look like the wacom was a giant touch sensitive tablet though...
