Brains Full of Pulleys, Levers, and Gears

"Anyone who knew Violet well could tell she was thinking hard, because her long hair was tied up in a ribbon to keep it out of her eyes. Violet had a real knack for inventing and building strange devices, so her brain was often filled with images of pulleys, levers, and gears, and she never wanted to be distracted by something as trivial as her hair."
— Lemony Snicket from The Bad Beginning

I mentioned steampunk briefly before, but today I am featuring an array of steampunk items (from movies, plays, shows, prints), plus links.

Although I like the car I drive very much, I don't generally care about cars. When I saw this car in The Golden Compass, however, I couldn't help oohing and ahhing.
