Datamancer, the steampunk virtuoso who’s created such pieces as the steampunk keyboard, LCD monitor and laptop, has just unveiled his latest creation: The Archbishop. It’s a full PC made with stained glass that’s more gothic than steampunk.
This week’s bad-taste webcam has been joined by more goth gear—this time a keyboard, mouse and mouse mat combo. Using the same recipe (take a perfectly ordinary set of computer stuff, liberally sprinkle with skulls, bones, rocks, random greenery and snakes) this time Evergreen has upped the gravestone action. Definitely one for peripherals-of-darkness fans, and any of you whose vehicle has the sticker: “If The Hearse Is Rockin’, Don’t Come Knockin’” displayed on its rear end. [Akihabaranews]
Sweet Baby Jesus and all the orphans, we wonder what possessed the creators of this nightmarish webcam as they slaved away at the drawing board. Something nasty with horns, a wicked headache and really bad taste in art, I reckon. Let’s see—take one webcam (pretty standard USB 2.0, 1.3 Mpix little number, with lights and a microphone), decorate it with a plaster surround in the skull and bones motif, add a spot of grass and a few bricks (why?). Then finish it off with a cobra, and bugger off back to the Fifth Circle of Hell. Should appeal to at least one uber-goth teenager with $US61.50 to spare. [GeekStuff4U via Akihabaranews]
