I believe that Steampunk is more than just brass and watchparts. It's finding a way to combine the past and the future in an aesthetic pleasing yet still punkish way. It's living a life that looks old-fashioned, yet speaks to the future. It's taking the detritus of our modern technological society and remaking it into useful things. Join me as I search for items for my house that combine the scientific romanticism of the Victorians with our real present and imagined future.

Wokingham Town Hall
I ran across this fine example of Victorian Gothic style on the website of Ridge Property Consultants in the UK. Love the rafters!
A very nice blog about everything "Steampunk". I like the perspective of "finding a way to combine the past and the future in an aesthetic pleasing yet still punkish way". You did it! (a good example: Steampunk-USB-drives!)
