Tami and Pete enlightened me as to the existence of the “steampunk” genre — folks who write books and make stuff that celebrate the kind of victorian machinery of Jules Verne and H. G. Wells. Check out this website to see all sorts of steampunked computer stuff — really impressive.

you know, benny nyikos’ brother dan and i drew a steampunk webcomic for a while. it never got very far, since we’re both ridiculously busy, but it was fun.
you can see it at: http://steampowered.comicgenesis.com/
also, i suggest you check out the music of abney park, in particular their christmas album, “dark christmas”. it is most excellent. 🙂

An excellent comic! Thanks for directing me to it. Do you know Audrey Neffenegger’s work? she’s famous for “The Time Traveler’s Wife,” but she’s also done some excellent … graphic novels, I guess. More like Edward Abbey, but for ambiguous adults. They may be hard to find.
