Hopefully this is fine as an offset of Telephone Bill's post about the slide rule.
As some of you know, I am in creating steampunk costumes (sometimes with Teensy).
My current rig is a steampunk 'cellphone', where I try to have different things in modern cellphones represented, and I have my mirrorless camera as part of the build. One of the things I have on it is various finger puppets that I can mascots (or more recently my apps) that do various things.
One of the mascots is "Evah the beavah" (which when I introduce it I say it with a stereotypical Boston accent), that has a sextant to figure out your location, and a slide rule to do the calculation. It took me some time to track down a dollhouse sized slide rule. I recently got a dollhouse abacus and a globe to add to it when I rework the box. If you didn't know it, the beaver is the symbol of MIT (because it is an engineer).
Here is the full picture of the rig from May:
Here is the album with larger pictures:
In case you are curious, on the top row there is:
- The painter squirrel Livinea (named after Livinea Turlock, a female English court painter in the time of Henry VIII & Elizabeth I);
- The photographer squirrel Nutzo (I always say if I went pro, he would undercut my prices because he works for peanuts);
- Snap the dragon with a pith helment and dragon cane who is on the lookout;
- Angry birds on a ballista if you wanted to play a game.
The middle row is:
- Madeline Pomfriet III (i.e. MP3) who plays music;
- Olympus E-m5 camera with Olympus 14-54mm mark II lens and Olympus MMF-3 adapter;
- Evah the beavah with sextant and slide rule.
On the bottom row:
- Racky the raccoon with tools and a telegraph key (I have Teensy code to fire the camera with the telegraph key, but it isn't hooked up here);
- Docter Quackenstein, the mad scientist.
Since we've been talking about uncanny eyes in the T4 beta thread, here is a Teensy 3.5 running uncanny eyes with the OLED monitors (SSD1351):
