I was reading your wiki.

Re:
QuoteI continued to allow it to inspire me though, bookmarking various websites about steampunk and visiting these occasionally to amuse myself. It was then that I discovered that it was not just a genre after all. It was a lifestyle, a collection of philosophies, and entire subculture existing for and by itself. Three things finally captured me and cemented my belief that I had found my niche; steampunk offered a perspective on design and technology that was more intuitive than dogmatic, more personal than collective; steampunk reinvented and reintroduced to me the intellectualism of an older, sepia-toned, and alluring world; and lastly, steampunk made me value personal skill, intelligence, and craftsmanship in the creation of an object over the material qualities of the object itself.

Interesting thoughts.

A tangential question; do you have a collection of some of these steampunk links-- they sound interesting.
