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.

Steampunk Laptop
After sending TinkerGirl the modded Underwood No. 5 I stumbled across (courtesy of The Practical Archivist), I ran across something even wierder and more wonderful. Via the Dark Roasted Blend we have a Steampunk... laptop. Look closely boys and girls -- I believe the mouse clicker is actually a clicker from a telegraph station (although I'm sure that's not the technical term for it...).
