OMG, that's beautiful -- he's built a mechanical Sigma! I'm generally not impressed by the "steampunk" aesthetic, but this I like. A lot. Still...
I remember 2011 very clearly. At least parts of it, including the gold and silver fever.
"Cluttered desk is a sign of a cluttered mind", eh? Then what does she suppose an empty desk is a sign of?
