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.

Drydock
A reader identified only as Introspect Services pointed this out to me today.
A house? A boat? The last remnants of a once powerful empire? Your guess is as good as mine.
Hmm...looks a bit like a chambered nautilus (ammonite). Reminiscent of a ship from the SpellJammer universe...but steampunked :D Very cool.
