Steampunkanalia
Via Neil Gaiman's blog via a friend's LJ, I found:
Steampunk Modified Computer Keyboards
These are delicious, but they pale in comparison to the Steampunk Laptop. (Although, wouldn't that key get in the way of typing?)
This lead to a long link-following binge, and then a mining of my own Favorites list to assemble a link-roundup of Steampunk delights:Voyages Extraordinaires, a blog about Victorian/Edwardian-style Science Fiction. This grew out of an older website that originally caught my eye for saying nice things about Doctor Who (which the blog continues to do).
Brass Goggles - Another blog of all things steampunk, featuring pictures of wonderful steampunk artwork and strange devices.
The Art of Alex CF - Click on "Artwork" for all the delicious oddities.
The Steampunk Workshop - Check out his steampunk keyboard and flat-screen monitor. I really covet that monitor.
And then there's good old Steampunk Fashipn, which I've been following off-and-on for a few months, now.
The theme of CostumeCon26's Friday Night Social is "Victorian Underwear Party," and since I have no Victorian underwear, I had been planning (assuming I am able to go to the con) to just wear the remake of Romana on Ribos* - as a "transtemporal and transdimensional guest" - or just whatever else I've already got.** Now, however, I'm kind of inspired to go for the underwear and make it steampunk somehow. Hmmm...
*Assuming I get around to making it.
**My primary reasons for not wanting to make Victorian underwear are: 1) the idea of making a corset scares me, 2) I don't wanna make a corset, and 3) did I mention the thing about the corset?
