Greetings and Good Evening to You

Welcome to this blog that shall be devoted to all things Steampunk. I am absolutely teslafied to be able to share Steampunk with all of you, my little sprockets. What is Steampunk you ask? That's rather difficult to answer. It is a genre in books, music, and movies, a movement in fashion, and a culture onto itself. Combining Victorian era fashion and lifestyle with futuristic inventions like airships, it is a blissfully beautiful meeting of past and future. It's all made out of brass, gears,  and powered by steam and tesla coils.

Since my explanation probably confuses most, I will provide some opportunities below for you to broaden your knowledge of Steampunk.

Steampunk (Wikipedia) - Some elementary information on what Steampunk is
Steampunk Magazine - A wonderful publication devoted to the culture of Steampunk
Brass Goggles - A place for those devoted to Steampunk to gather and talk
The Steampunk Workshop - Amazing Steampunk makeovers on otherwise commonplace objects, among other things
Abney Park - An impressive example of Steampunk music, thoroughly enjoyable even if you don't know what Steampunk is
