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.

Shipwrecked Submarine; aka Den
I don't know what it is, but media rooms and submarines seem to go together. Here's one from New Zealand, sent to me by Paul and featured in stuff.co.nz.
In the rusting interior of the submarine, which appears to have beached on a deserted island, Eyre has all the creature comforts reclining chairs, a three-metre big-screen TV and a top-notch surround-sound system.
Customwood has been sprayed with concrete and painted to resemble rusting steel beams, while plastic sheets have been melted to give the impression of bent steel ripped apart when the submarine hit an island. Speakers emit sonar and ocean sounds throughout the 12-metre by 5.5m room.

Okay. This is just awesome.

Great link, thanks. Periscope, must have, even without the entire sub.
"...didn't want to go cave, we were kind of over that whole thing.." Right on brother man.
Sweet!
