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.

www.whatsbetter?com is in its seventh day or so and already bombed with traffic. I love this site. From now on, all debates on what is better will be resolved by this, the sum of all (nerd) opinion. Unfortunately, their search feature is down for now (it's up at the new test site), but as soon as it's up, all flamewars will be instantly solved a la the Guinness Book of World Records.

I don't know why people submit themselves to this site. Obviously you, a geek loser, cannot compete against The A-Team Van, Ultimate Power, Pee Wee's Big Adventure, and the planet Mars. Nobody knows who you are and why you are better. Thus, you're going to end up in that grey zone between really bad things, like Dog Crap (the worst thing in the Universe) and Hitler (not as bad as Eisner), and okay things, like Alexander the Grape and the color brown. Prepare to be disappointed.

I've had some tough choices to make, though. Adam Ant or Wallace & Grommit? The Sun or Shrooms? Cheez Whiz or Gin? This site really pushes you to evaluate What's Better.
