The Economist partner site More Intelligent Life is carrying an article on, well, steampunk. It seems everyone these days is talking about steampunk, which will either burn it out or make it more popular. I’m hoping for the latter, but humans are fickle creatures. Anyway, you can read the article...
The Aussie newspaper, The Age, as an impressively long article on the Steampunk scene in Melbourne. The article goes into detail on the appeal of Victorian aesthetics, historical reenactment, “cosplay”, LARPing, and the various do-it-yourself steampunk projects by various Melbourne enthusiasts. One featured enthusiast is Stirling Gill with his Mad...
Museum Replicas, the famed (and somewhat pricey) provisioner of well-crafted replica Medieval, Renaissance, Viking, and fantasy swords, armor, clothing, and apparel, have leapt heedlessly headlong into the alternative 19th century realm of steampunk. Currently, they have some clothing and accessories, a few weapons, and a couple steampunkish gadgets. Their catalog...
Last year I drew your attention to the ultimate steampunk house, created by Bruce and Melanie Rosenbaum of Modern Victorian Home Restoration (they also did the ultimate steampunk workstation, which I recently posted on). I recently revisited their website and discovered that they now have an extensive virtual tour available...
Here’s my obligatory steampunk post of the month, since I’ve not posted anything steampunkish since December. It’s a large collection of 24 steampunk guns, blades, and other wonky weapon things. Check it out at walyou.com!

It seems like every day there’s just a bit more steampunk in the world. The latest addition to the steampunk genre is “War of the Worlds: Goliath”. It’s an animated movie, but it seems to be rated R for language, violence, and possibly sex and nudity. It’s, after all, produced...
Now here’s something you could do if you had, oh I don’t know, maybe a million freaking dollars? You could renovate an old Victorian house into a shiny brass Neo-Victorian Steampunk House! This fantastic work was done by Bruce and Melanie Rosenbaum of Modern Victorian Home Restoration. Way to go!...
Well, it seems the steampunk band Abney Park has released their new album, Aether Shanties! Just based on the titles alone, it looks to be a very steampunkish album, perhaps more-so than Lost Horizons, which was pretty steampunk by anyone’s definition. I have not been able to find a good...
The Neo-Victorian, Jules Verne inspired, Steampunkish band, Vernian Process,has released (or are close to releasing) their new album, “Behold the Machine”. You can listen to their new album, or download it if you wish, on the band’s MySpace page at http://www.myspace.com/vernianprocess. Seriously good stuff for the steampunk in us all!...
