The Steampunk World

Being the continued explorations of a living steampunk.

The steampunk world is all around us, lying just out of sight, in a continuous thread of steampunk builders and culture that extends from the Victorian era to the present. You'll find no science fiction here: This is real life steampunk.

Good evening ladies and gentlemen, I'm Johnny Payphone, and this... is Nerd News.

Our top story tonight: Scotty visits past, gives scientist the secret of transparent aluminum. (From fark.com)

Okay, it's transparent aluminum oxide, but so what? If he'd broken the story with a correct translation, it would still be cool. So it's a ceramic. So it's only strong in certain directions. It'll still hold a couple of whales in a Klingon cargo bay.

In equally geeky news, Amazon Auctions is auctioning off the first three Seqways. Be the first on the planet to own one! I like the "notify me by email when this product becomes available" feature. As if you won't know. Being a former member of a motorized scooter gang, I can't wait to get one.
