Hobbies and Jobs for Steampunks

Traveler | 5. September 2010

Granted, the topic of this post pushes against the boundaries of what is healthy quite violently, but I guess more than a few of us have thought about really appropriate jobs and hobbies for Steampunks (and obviously Dieselpunks). It is all a question about how far you want to carry your lifestyle. The trouble is, [...]

Steampunk your home

Traveler | 31. August 2010

Who would have thought it, in lovely Massachusetts (my second favourite state of the US, right after Connecticut) there is a company which specialises in redisigning your abode’s interior… Steampunk Style! I would not go so far as to have my entire home redesigned in such a way, but the thought of maybe having a [...]

Steampunk Compatible Music and Birthdays

Traveler | 17. August 2010

Already a while back, there was a thread on the Brassgoggles Forum, where we discussed Steampunk Music, music we would like to see, that is, hear, in a Steampunk context and the music we were listening to in general. In this thread, a few participants, including myself, agreed, that Steampunk was missing a band with [...]

Happy Birthday, Mr. Barnum

Traveler | 5. Juli 2010

This is truely a reason to celebrate! 200 years ago Mr. P.T. “There’s a sucker born every minute” Barnum first saw the light of this world. While the “Sucker-Quote” is easily his most well known, it is not at all certain he actually ever said that. It is just like “I am your father, Luke!” [...]

More great stuff out of Russia

Traveler | 30. Mai 2010

Look at this beauty, the perfect toy for tinkerer and their children, a Russian-built RC Steam Tank: I wonder how much it would take to build a life-size version of this thing. Well, one could use an old steam-powered locomotive as a basis, I guess. On a different note: I have reently received another review [...]

So much to do…

Traveler | 19. April 2010

All right folks, here’s the thing: Although I have been updating this blog every day for the last three months and a bit, this will not be possible in the next few weeks. Two reasons: Right now I have a review copy of The Dream of Perpetual Motion by Dexter Palmer which I want to [...]

Mickey Mouse – The Mechanical Kingdom

Traveler | 15. April 2010

After hearing about it in the Gatehouse, after it was mentioned in the H.P. Lovecraft Literary Podcast and after my good friend Timo pointed me to it, I want to say a little something about: So, Disney has put the usual suspects into Steampunk gear and come up with a background story to match… I [...]
