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.

Maker on Wheels
You know Roger Woods and Klockwerks, right? He was steampunk before steampunk even was... Here's a great video his assistant Bryan Belanger made of Roger making one of his klocks on wheels. (I *love* the soundtrack.)
I met Roger last month at the Philadelphia Steampunk show. He was set up across from where I was selling Steampunk lighting. I loved Roger's clocks and since I make similar lamps I call Diabolical Boxes Roger and I got along famously. I show my lamps at steampunklighting.com
