I like Steam Punk! Yes, it probably originated with Wells and Verne.
Films of the genre could include "League of Extroidinary Gentlemen".
Warehouse 13 is also sorta Steam-punky.

Does that thing come with a 'safe word'?
I think this is going to give me nightmares.

Has anyone listened to any steampunk genre music? I found the Vernian Process (http://www.vernianprocess.com/) - their new single "Something Wicked That Way Went" reminds me of something from Moulin Rouge. I love the common items adapted by folks much more creative than me.

http:// The last trip I made "across the pond" to visit Europe, I was very pleased to spend some time in Scotland, it was awesome. This is a Falkirk Wheel, and it is steam punk at it's finest!

A friend lent me Boneshaker. I just couldn't get through it. It's really poorly written. There are better Steampunk books out there.

Around 1981-82, Sam Waterston starred in a CBS show called Q.E.D. His character was named Quentin E. Deverill and he was an American scientist living in Edwardian England and he came up with all kinds of inventions. He battled a German named Kilkus played by Julian Glover (from Indy...Last Crusade and the Star Wars movies). The show had a catchy John Addison-esque theme, though I don't think he composed the music for it. I was a dedicated viewer of the show during its six episode original run. Thankfully, the episodes are on youtube. It was produced by John Hawkesworth who did the Jeremy Brett Sherlock Holmes series.

Not sure if this qualifies as steampunk, but I sure am intrigued with the little critters.

^^^Is that little guy from Insect Lab? I do believe so. I have a great deal of liking for those also. I keep telling myself that I should use part of my next year's bonus to buy some of his work. I do think they give off a steampunk vibe.

qualifies as steampunk,.
Oh, yes it qualifies.
AS Abney Park sings: "A modern marvel of engineering, clockworks elevated to the very natural process.."
It's STEAMPUNK, all right!
Dieselpunky robot concept, circa 1924.

Considering his tear gas dispensers, I'd say his bowtie was actually a camera... (w/ apologies to Simon & Garfunkle)

His insects really appeal to me. I'll probably treat myself as well.
I passed through Nashville this afternoon.... Hilo, HI to Huntsville (daughter), then car to Ohio. If you were nearby, I assume you heard the sirens. Fortunately, I made the state line ahead of them.
