The wave of steampunk popularity continues, which simultaneously delights and frightens me. It's even in Newsweek! There are new online communities springing up, like a buy and sell group and a Flickr pool of steampunk gear.

Voyages Extraordinaires, one of the oldest distinguished statesmen of steampunky goodness, is now in weblog format, hooray! Also, the genius behind the necropathic spectrograph and Lovecraftian antiquities has a weblog as well at Many Dead Things.

Many of us have seen the amazing props and weapons from Weta. Now they have a rival -- check out Kropserkel's fantastical guns! (The whole site is worth some hours of immersion.)
