Just hit the link and look. Then click on the Baron Margo link either here or there and look at some of the Baron’s other works. This is some serious heavy metal porn… ;-)

Steam dream - Life - The Phoenix

Steampunk bursts through its subculture roots to challenge our musical, fashion, design, and even political sensibilities

Quite a good article on SteamPunk. Good video of Jake von Slatt and some of his works too. Well worth the read!

Victorian All-in-One PC | The Steampunk Workshop

Jake von Slatt does it again.  This time with a 24 inch flat screen.  Interestingly enough the one he chose is the same brand that I picked up today, a SOYO, though I ended up with a 22″ model.  Still a super nice monitor, especially for the price.  But mine doesn’t look quite as nice.

Steampunk Unboxing: Difference Engine Arrives in Silicon Valley

I can’t help but wonder just how different the world today would be if this had been built back then. Amazing bit of work!

Seriously steampunk! Only thing this project needs to be perfect is construction pics. Thanks to Steve for the link.

This is an interesting little project. I like the brass car horn used as the outlet for the rear speaker. Go to the forum for more pictures and info.

Neat! Love the tolerances they are dealing with! 50 millionths of an inch works whereas 100 doesn’t. Steam is some tenacious stuff!

Don’t think I have posted this link before but am too lazy to look so if I have here it is again. ;-)

These are interesting but it would be nice if he would give a little background and maybe a view of the actual guts and/or construction of one of them. Cool stuff anyway.

Girl Genius Online Comics

The BEST comic I have ever read! Can’t begin to describe this one other than it is kinda steampunk/sci-fi based. Fantastic storyline and the artwork is awesome! Start with the first in 101 and move on to the advanced. Will take you a while but well worth the effort. Now that I have finished I’m planning on starting back over and taking a bit of time to study the whole thing.

Awesome music! Love it! They have quite a few free downloads as well as a hell of a deal on grabbing all their music via download vs buying the individual albums which I intend to take advantage of as soon as I get some spare cash.
