Almost Scientific on NBC news
Last week NBC news interviewed Me, Sean O, Tom Sepe and Oliver Lowe (of ReSearch, who is working on a book about Steampunk) about steam-stuff. Tom give a nice interview about his steam-powered scooter. While none of the interview of Me or Sean is shown (I think we might have […]

The Internet Tells Lies
My last post on the Lumbering Contraption was featured on the Make blog where they noted that our Railcar was much like The Disgusting Spectacle ( a gloriously absurd work of art built by friends at NIMBY ). While it is true that they are both human powered and both […]

The Wether Channel on Steampunk
God help us — even the weather channel has published an article about Stampunk. Overall the article is a rehash of the same old tropes and themes that everyone else has been printing. I’m stunned that there are people out there getting paid to rewrite the same (uninspired ) article […]

Almost Scientific in Make
Make has picked up the Steampunk Workshop interview. They pulled this quote: To me, science is largely about taking concrete aspects of the world and abstracting so that they can be communicated. I would spend weeks and months working on my thesis and the result would be some bit of […]

Coachella Media Wrap-up
Hey all’ya all — I’m back from an amazing showing of the Steampunk Treehouse at Coachella. Last year at this time, when we were first starting the project, I would have never gussed that I’d be able to watch Roger Waters and Prince preform while swinging my feet from the […]
