There was a post on Treehugger today asking: Are zeppelins the future of air travel? featuring both some lovely historic drawings and photos of zeppelins as well as sleeker modern models.
I would certainly rather take a zeppelin than a plane for adventures, even if it wasn’t a pretty brass-and-cogs covered one for airship pirates. If [...]
It’s sunny out! (Here, anyway.) Spring is on the way! Love, flowers, and of course steampunk are all in the air! Or something. At any rate, here are the exciting things from around the steampunk blogosphere (steamosphere? We need a word for it, I’m taking suggestions!) this week.
Lots going on at Steampunk Fashion! First, a [...]
Just a quick note to let you all know that our UK, Europe and otherwise non-Americas purveyor of SteamPunk Magazine, Vagrants Among Ruins, has just taken delivery of fresh copies of the magazine.
These can once again be purchased through the mail order page of the Vagrants website.
Goodness, I know I’ve been neglecting my feed reader when there are 30 unread steampunk posts. Passing along some of the best for your enjoyment!
Steampunk Scholar has a review of Scott Westerfeld’s Leviathan, which I’ve wanted to read for a while. Anyone read it yet? Thoughts?
Ever adorable, The Steampunk Home has some cool pictures of [...]

Hello dear Steampunks!
Hopefully you will emerge from tonight’s festivities merely sugar-high and not hungover, but either way, if your revels include Steampunk costuming, please send pictures to blog@steampunkmagazine.com so I can do a post-Halloween post of all your finery.
Love,

Steampunk Magazine #6 is now out. At 104 pages its our biggest issue to date, and it can be downloaded for free from our downloads page.
All issues of the magazine are now also available for order from Vagrants Among Ruins, from where you can order copies of the magazine from outside the Americas. Those of you in the Canada, Central and South America and the United States can still order the magazine through the Vagrants sister publishing collective, Strangers in a Tangled Wilderness.
BEFORE THE age of homogenization and micro-machinery, before the tyrannous efficiency of internal combustion and the domestication of electricity, lived beautiful, monstrous machines that lived and breathed and exploded unexpectedly at inconvenient moments. It was a time where art and craft were united, where unique wonders were invented and forgotten, and punks roamed the streets, living in squats and fighting against despotic governance through wit, will and wile.
Even if we had to make it all up.
SteamPunk Magazine is a publication that is dedicated to promoting steampunk as a culture, as more than a sub-category of fiction. It is a journal of fashion, music, misapplied technology and chaos. And fiction.
It just may be the most spectacular magazine to ever fight against the spectacle, and it is free. Or as cheap as we can possibly get it to you. Using the latest in Creative Commons technology, we undermine the fascism of copyright while protecting ourselves from direct co-option.
We sell the magazine for as close to cost as we can manage, and we offer it for free PDF download for printing at home.
