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.

Operation Clambake is number one on a google search for Scientology!!!!!!! Go google bomb, go google bomb, go, go, go, google bomb, go google bomb, go google bomb, go, go, go, google bomb... ::dances the Cabbage Patch::

This is the future. A megacorporation spending thousands on domains cannot beat a legion of wiseass bloggers. While pissing off the Co$ is all fun and games, the application of the web against the suppression of information is a huge deal. How many examples have the past few years provided us of corporations being unwilling to accept that technology has passed them by? The Napster (a teenager), the DVD encryption being cracked (a younger teenager), the stupid CD rip-proofing that can be overcome with a $1 patch cable, "TiVo's commercial-skipping is theft" (as if going to the shitter during the commercial breaks isn't the same thing- who knew that "taking" a dump is theft?), it just keeps happening. When will companies learn that the way to get and keep customers is to provide good products and service, rather than through coersion and suppression? You been smacked by the Invisible Hand, muthafuckaaaaaa!
