T.G.I.F. Victorian laptop?





C'EST VENDREDI et...


today's fun find


Richard R. Nagy aka Datamancer constructed this "Victorian" laptop out of wood, glass, watch parts and brass fittings. It works, it looks fantastic in a paneled library but portable? probably not. And the case? Fortuny velvet? in any case,no pun intended, what a technical and decorative feat!

  1. This laptop is beautiful - a first in the world of computers. I use a laptop and would stach it in a drawer as soon as I was finished because I hate the way it looks, but now I use it too much and very rarely bother hidin it anymore. This is the perfect solution! Hmmm, now my brain gears are starting to spin....:)

  2. Pardon this second comment, please ignore all the typos in the first note. I'll use the lame excuse of getting up too early.

  4. Bonjour Romance, I am not sure where they are sold..ahaha but maybe a computer "cover" you can stick on, or the new designer Dell mini netbooks are sold with different patterns on the top cover instead of black or solid colors.
    Queen B you are such a supporter! Merci.

  7. Richard has mastered the artform of "steampunk"! I LOVE this!!!!!! Looks like something that would have been on Captain Nemo's desk in Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea.
