Steampunk

You know that something has finally caught the attention of the mainstream media when it's in the New York Times. I just read the article, "Steampunk Moves Between Two Worlds." I've been following this, well, the NYT calls it a sub-culture, for a number of years. (Following is probably too strong a word, let's say observing.) I find it an interesting intersection of, the article quotes, "technology and romance." I agree.

Check out some of the links in the article. I've also seen quite a few links in Wired magazine. There is also great store in Denver, called Packrat Antiques, which has some amazing old scientific and engineering instruments. It's on South Broadway if you're ever in the neighborhood.
