There was a camera crew from CBS Sunday Morning at the Steampunk World's Fair on Saturday, but I didn't hear when the segment was supposed to air. Does anybody know? I would love to see it.

Thank you sir, most kind of you. I so rarely advertise as I typically like the "word of mouth approach, so it's most gratifying to know a few of the ads are interesting to people. Your compliment on my website is perhaps even greater than you realize in today's "automatic website" environment. I design all my own graphics and still program "old school" with hard code, so I consider the site one of my creations in a more artistic sense. So again, thank you most heartily. It's a great pleasure to meet you.
