Musings from a travelling Steampunk

Dark Electro with a touch of Steampunk

Traveler | 7. September 2010

This is really another one of those emergency aricles and it is harking back to something I wanted to post a while ago and did not really get around to. Anyway, In Strict Confidence, a German Dark Electro band, released an album in 2010, with the following cover (thanks, Timo, for sending the link to [...]

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, [...]

This time it’s war

Traveler | 1. September 2010

Gatehouse Gazette Issue 14 has been released today and its topic is once more on the serious side: War In it you will find tips for the military Steampunk look, observations concerning technologies coming out of wars and which changed all our lives in a positive way. Apart from war-themed essays, there is obviously more. [...]

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 [...]

Recommended Blog: Eclectic Ephemera

Traveler | 29. August 2010

Once more I want to direct you, my dear readers, towards another fellow blogger whose work I find of particular interest. This time it is Eclectic Ephemera, as the name suggests, it is a rather eclectic collection of ephemeral things. But: There is a definite trend apparent in all the things on Eclectic Ephemera and [...]

Weather Noir

Traveler | 27. August 2010

I like summer, it is my favourite time of the year. Right now, it seems that summer in Germany is coming to an end. This year’s summer has been rather wierd. First it was rather cool, then it was really hot and finally it was rather rainy. Right now it seems like the first autumnal [...]

More Steampunk Toys

Traveler | 26. August 2010

Credits to Timo once more for sending me a most interesting and very useful link. So, there is a line of toys around, called the a most splendid line of toys and assorted artwork. At the Mechtorians Emporium the toy-line and various other goodies are available and I have to say: I am most tempted [...]

The Mindset of the Times

Traveler | 24. August 2010

A recent update led to the installation of the iBook app on my iPod Touch. Being a new father I was also quite pleased that Winnie the Poo came with it for free. I was even more pleased to find the following among the free books being offered via iBooks: How lucky is that? If [...]

Steampunk Art – Chinese Motives

Traveler | 19. August 2010

This one is courtesy of my friend Daliah Jane of Upon a Midnight Dreary who was kind enough to point my inquisitive eye towards the Art of James Ng. This is a quite unique take on the Steampunk theme, blending something that could have been taken out of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and was woven [...]

High Quality Steampunk Toys

Traveler | 15. August 2010

This entry is not really connected to Steampunk Fatherhood. My good friend Timo sent me the link to what I am writing about here last week Some toys are not only for children In this particular case, it is also engineering as an art-form So, Timo pointed out a site to me, which features quite [...]
