Over at Wired, Mr Von Slatt has been interviewed by Mr Brownlee and that, coupled with the photographs of Mr Von Slatts various creations over the years, results in a lovely glimpse at the terribly creative man behind the keyboard.  (And the monitor, and the guitar, and…).
Oh, and I promise not to tease too much [...]

Over at the Da Vinci Automata clockpunk blog, they’ve posted about an upcoming comic called Clockwork Girl.  Star crossed lovers are not a new theme, but when one of the loves is a clockwork automaton and the other a Frankenstein’s Monster styled creation, and their great scientist creators (ex-best friends) espouse their particular aspects of [...]

While in 1907 the world’s fastest vehicle may have been steam powered, in 1884 the world’s first automobile was powered by that self same vapour! “La Marquise” as it was sometimes called was created for one of the owners of the De Dion-Bouton et Trepardoux company and can reach a blistering 38mph (61kph). [...]

In 1907, the fastest vehicle on the planet was powered by steam. Now, steam vehicles have a reputation (whether true or not) for being slow, inefficient and generally rubbish – but that may not be the way it has to be. The British Steam Car Challenge team are making a new steam powered [...]

It’s been a bit quiet about the Edison Bar in Los Angeles for a while, after the review from the terribly kind Ms Lev, but Mr Ginder wrote to point out the utterly heartclenchingly beautiful high-dynamic range photography from the Flickr user Dave Bullock (eecue) of the club, alive but empty. Such rich colours; [...]

If you’ve wondered what an interior designer might make of the Steampunk look, then wonder no longer because the delightful Ms Sara over at The Steampunk Home page signed for a service that would take a photograph of a room and digitally composite a new interior design to your guidelines.  She asked for a Steampunk [...]

Oh yes, this is very flash indeed. It’s a jar of mechanically operated fireflies created by user Jesse over at Cre.Ations.Net and it’s delightfully Steampunk! A knifeswitch on the lid of the jar controls the internal lighting (UV) and a handle on the side turns the elegant and beautifully fragile mechanism within that [...]

Mr Matthews has written a five part primer on a selection of things Steampunk – from looking at it as a literary genre, to an evolving musical feel or style, to the wonderful applied arts creations that fire the imagination so.
The articles seem well researched, and give an interesting not-quite outsider viewpoint on everything that [...]

If you are going to the San Diego Comic Convention during the 25th to 29th of next month (July), and you happen to be desirous of a one-quarter sized Man-Melter raygun (and it seems alien to me that you would not be, but each to their own), then haste ye to the Weta site so [...]

Lord Auron has done a modification of the squirrel papercraft template known as e440, and dubbed it the Magnificient Steam Powered Squirrel.  Available on request (oddly enough) and under Creative Commons licence, you too could have a rectilinear rodent, complete with goggles (not part of the original model, I believe – but we know how [...]
