I never understood the concept of having weapons on display in your living room. But the idea of having fake steampunk-like rayguns on display sounds more appealing, I’m not sure why. When WETA isn’t making big screen magic in Lord of the Rings, they are making Dr Grordborts Infallible Aether Oscillators line of rayguns. The [...]

The clanky Victorian steampunk aesthetic drove the whole durned Internet crazy for a while there. It became de rigeur to festoon everything with superfluous dials and valves and pipes , until even Gizmodo became "officially sick to death of steampunk."

I found this to be quite a beautiful piece of cover art by Tom Kidd. It is from John Marco's new book Starfinder , which is due to be released in May 2009. Starfinder is shaping up to be a Steampunk/Epic Fantasy mixture of a novel. Says Marco of the plot, "Not only is it a story of coming of age for the two main protagonists, Moth and his friend Fiona, but it's also about mankind's coming of age....

This phone was designed by Londoner Arthur Schmitt and it’s just awesome. The phone is so inefficient, so bulky, such a pain to handle and all these things make the phone even better. Among all the inefficiencies, which makes this phone so cool, one stands out the most - you need to use punch cards [...]

Egad! Steampunk is at its ridiculous best again and that surely has me interested. Not that I like stuff that’s ridiculous to the T but with Steampunk it’s ridiculous yet interesting stuff. After the Steampunk headset and Steampunk blunderbuss...

If the not-real-at-all Steampunk Bluetooth set had amused you then its amusement time yet again with another unearthly creation coming from the Steampunk stable. This time they have laid their bets on the sort of sought-after Ray-Blunderbuss.

From rozk 's post today on More thoughts about Georgiana, the best Duchess ever : Georgiana has this odd proto-steampunk thing going for her in that she sponsors public displays of hot-air balloons as well as the careers of rising divas (not rising in the sense of going up in balloons you understand.) Given the tendency of early hot-air balloons to be tethered entirely during the early experiments,...

I'm a huge fan of is the steampunk genre of fiction. I love the fusion of clockwork-driven high-technology dirtying the skies of a more elegant and romantic era. The juxtaposition is beautiful. This brings me to The Chaos Engine (known in the US as Soldiers of Fortune , but I'm going to keep calling it The Chaos Engine because it's a waaay cooler name). Not only does it feature a hyper-advanced, war-torn...
