So.. there’s this very nicely done Steampunk graphic novel around. “The Five Fists of Science”, although I was aware of it for quite a while, I only recently had the pleasure of reading it. Beautiful artwork, (un-)believable characters and a truely and fittingly weird plot. I found it a most charming touch Tesla being one [...]

After yesterday’s lengthy response (actually, it is more than twice the length of the original essay), I guess it’s time for a short post and some artwork again.

You know, 100 years ago, you could theoretically set atom clocks to the arrival of what was then the Reichsbahn. Today, hardly anything of this once [...]

Kudos to Timo for once again for pointing me towards a most excellent piece of Steampun entertainment on the ætheweb: Guns of Icarus This is a nifty little game where you have to defend your Zeppelin agains sky pirates. I have only tried the free version thus far but it is tremendous steampunky fun already. [...]

Today I am going to divert slightly from the usual Steampunk theme and let the scientific and skeptical facette of my persoality shine through. There has been a lot of buzz on the internet recently regarding this old swami from India who survives without food or drink. Well, Mr. Randy, what do you have to [...]

I am an anthropologist and in this capacity a minor scholar of the Cthulhu Mythos and H.P. Lovecraft. I am also quite obviously heavily into Steampunk and Dieselpunk and like travelling.
