I've been having some fun making this, with lots of help of course! Shout
outs to Ilan Moyer <http://vimeo.com/45911972>, Nick
Chelyapov<http://nickolaspeter.com/>,
and Danger! Awesome! <http://www.dangerawesome.co/>. It's been pointed out
that this device is not *really* steampunk, because of course it actually
works... Enjoy!
P.S. there is one thing "wrong" with the spectrometer shown in the video --
one last part is still being shipped but we didn't want to hold up the
filming. I'll ship you a $35 spectrometer kit if you can figure it out!
OK, so we've gotten a little silly in the past few days and in that spirit
we've made designed more spectrometer. It's brass. It's wood. It's
engraved. But it's functionally identical to our $300 countertop model, and
has the same imaging chamber as our $35 kit. But it really is complete
vanity, so we're offering 5 of them for $1000 each to help support the
Public Lab nonprofit. See more photos

.
You'll want to watch the video (also on
YouTube<http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OH2DCxu9Lyg>),
below, because we got especially silly and spoofed the iPhone 5 release
video. We're not really calling this the iPhotometer 5, but we just had to
try to sound as design-drunk as Jony Ive & company. So enjoy the shallow
focus!

So Spacecaptain aka Fernando actually emailed in first (see below). I've
sent him a spectrometer kit already! Indeed, the last piece of brass pipe
has just arrived and without it, the image chamber wasn't actually lined up
with the lamp.
In other news, there were some pretty bad typos in the first sentence of
the update. Too bad I already sent it to over 1000 people! :-P But i went
ahead and fixed it anyways.
