Super cool! Felix Nadar, aka Gaspard-Félix Tournachon was pioneering photographer, baloonist, and all-around geek. He was friends with Jules Verne, and he liked heavier-than-air flying machines.
That is all.

Hello all! This blog will be sort of steampunky, sort of rambling, sometimes relating to coming things or the cutting edge of science, and usually combined in strange and unusual ways. A Penny Farthing is a type of bicycle by the way, the type with one big giant wheel in the front, which seem insane until you understand the technology at the time and the physics involved, and it really is a good way to make a bicycle. My blog is kind of like that. (p.s. I really want a penny farthing)
