The sequel to Larklight, the young-at-heart-person’s novel set in possibly the most delightfully Steampunk solarsystem, is called Starcross, and much to my surprise the nice people at Amazon saw fit to furnish me with my preordered copy almost a week before I expected it.  Hurrah!
Once again following the adventures of the Mumby family and their [...]

AlexCF (who has made too many wonderful things to mention) has just finished his latest masterwork – the Bio-Ætheric Laboratory.  From a world where Mary Shelly’s Frankenstein was closer to the truth than polite society would like to believe, this mobile laboratory of shamed and shunned Doctor Belacleese contains some of the artifacts of his [...]

Oh what a beautiful, well crafted babbage-related machine this is!  From the Mod-Planet forum (in Polish?), in a thread entitled “Steampunk FTW!”, forum member Korko_Czong has made this wonderful, beautiful brass and wood PC case that is water cooled and glows in a most disarming manner.
It’s a stunning piece of functional work – the pipes [...]

Dr Julius T. Roundbottom, scientist and philosopher extraordinaire, writes from a world not quite like our own, and documents his findings in the realm of (un)natural science.  Using new-fangled aetheric trasmission technology, we are able to read and indeed communicate with the good Doctor, and are able to discuss such photographic studies as faery tree [...]

Mr Dantes, of the forum and DeviantArt, has created this most marvellous of Steampunk costumes! With a brass breastplate, back-mounted Aetheric Generator and really rather formiddable looking gun – this is a gentleman (or rather, a well spoken scoundrel) who would trawl the skies for tea and plunder in a Steampunk world. I [...]

Just a quick update to the Wallpapers page – three new images from the Museum of Victorian Science posted below in three sizes each and there’s one widescreen proportioned image too. I realise some may find them a little ‘noisy’ for backdrops, but others may find them suitable.

For the last three days I had been on a short holiday/vacation to the historic town of Whitby on the east coast of England. My main reason for visiting was to see the Museum of Victorian Science in nearby Glaisdale. On arrival, and after paying, the owner ushered us into the hallway of his house [...]

Over at Neatorama today, they posted about the War of the Worlds webcomic from Dark Horse comics.  An adaption by Ian Edginton and art by D’Istraeli, this looks like a rather faithful adaption of the classic HG Wells tale of invaders from Mars.  With heat rays and human resistance, this is one of the wonderful [...]

On wonderous joy – while I’m sure a large and happy proportion of the aethernet knows about The House on the Rock, it had managed to slip under my consciousness like a naughty child beneath a tablecloth.  But no longer – thanks to Mr Vernian Process, he found the most amazing collection of photographs of [...]

What a curious creation this is – a computer case design (the creator mentions that as there is no original case, it is not a mod as such) based around a retro look that is very pleasantly Steampunk called the DialupPC.  EnVaDoR, the creator, was asked by Intel to create a case on short notice [...]
