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.

Submarine Set in Cartoon Heroes Video
Ben sent me this music video with a fabulous steampunk set -- you have to wait a while, but then you get a hybrid spaceship/submarine straight out of Jules Verne.
Your blog has helped me a lot in thinking about how to plan a nineteenth century literature course I'm teaching. I think our final project will explore the steampunk phenomenon.

Thanks Raven! There is a video of them walking and to a tour through the set on you tube too.
How fun! Thanks!
