Going for a long trip and little Jill and Johnny tend to get bored in the back seat of the submarine as you go around the woods and through the river to Grandmothers? Fear not! Jill and Johnny will have hours of fun with these Steampunk Adventure Action Figures! Now when they will gladly play together and share each others sides, or at the very least, they will defend their side of the back seat with gusto and glee, fighting with the figures and not their fists!

To change to a different tune, here are some more seafaring and wicked looking guitars, the Nautilus and the Villanizer! Strum to the sound of the steamboats and the cephalopod with these wonderfully crated instruments.

Lastly, I stayed at the most lovely home. It’s a steampunk’s dream.

Want to make a shiny for your pretty? Need help learning how to turn a rusty old rivet into a stunning work of jewelry? Don’t wait for those tiny cogs to string themselves and pre-order Steampunk Style Jewelry from Ornamentea and get a free starter kit with all manner of nifty gears and gizmos!

Speaking of gizmos, read about a new game Machinarium and try the demo. It’s a whimsical point-and-click adventure, a style of game play that I grew up with. I played the demo for a few minutes and am waiting to get back to it.

Got an old watch? Turn it into something ornamental.

Good heavens! A book with a beautiful cover and it’s full of sky pirates and goggles and steam!

Some lovely Second Life attire that is both whimsy and perfect for that fancy dance ball.

Tired of setting your bubbling drinks on a boring end or coffee table while watching the teletubes? Try these tables on for size.

I’m thinking of getting a land tank to defend from whatever nefarious ruffians and/or zombies that might try to attack. Donations accepted to help me defend the world by purchasing one.

I found a gallery with some generally wonderful steampunk imagery, including an octopus pendant.

Want some books? Here are some suggestions.

Some more Second Life goodness: Steampunk Pixies! (And how to become one!)

Would a steampunk synthesizer make mechtronica music?

For the grand finale, and I do mean grand, check out these amazing moving pictures of Fleet Week in New Babbage, STEAMPUNK TOWN! Seriously, this is fantastic, beautiful, and wonderful.

At the local moving pictures theater, they are showing a series of a decimated land, political intrigue, and goggles. I’ve not had a chance to see it all yet, but it looks interesting.

A pleasant stroll through a book shop revealed three books of steampunkery. Here are some short reviews so you can make a wise choice on what to read.

In a bazaar I found some fantastic rings and sculptures. Check out the online store. I actually have bought one of these rings for my wife before, so I can attest to how nifty they are. There is a contest too to win some wonderful things. Check it out!

Also discovered at the bazaar was a cute little Steampunk Teddy.

I discovered some evidence about a stun ray! Unfortunately, it appears to be possibly lethal.

If you ever happen to get transmogrified into a LEGO minifig and need to go exploring, you will want one of these.

Finally, I spied with with Whimsographic Splyglass, this duel of egregious display of a gentlemanly altercation.

While listening to the Clockwork Cabaret I heard about the Phono Vault. They sell the kinds of music steampunk music you might hear on the Clockwork Cabaret (even some on vinyl!). If you sign up for their newsletter, you get a free song a week. This week I got The World Turned Upside Down by Charlie Kahn. It’s quite an enjoyable listen.

While perusing the wares of a dusty bookshop I discovered a curious thing. On a pane of glass flickered the words Steampunk Magazine! I ran my fingers over the glowing glass and perused the magazine. Inside I saw many wonders on lifestyle, mad science, theory, and fiction. The layout and style of the magazine have the feel of the Victorian era. I browsed the latest issue, #6, and found stories about Lizard towns and madness engines, an interview with a steampunk rock band from London, an article on alchemy, and much more. All the issues are available for free online. There is also available A Steampunk’s Guide to the Apocalypse, which will be very useful in a catastrophic event.

I took a stroll in the Steampunk Workshop and took a gander at a fine looking Wimhurst Machine.

A telegram arrived and I learned that at the Oxford Museum of the History of Science, an Art of Steampunk exhibit had opened.

As I walked down a country road, a house passed me by and they invited me in for a cup of tea. I was able to rest while still moving in my intended direction!

That’s about all I had this week, come back again to see more of the wonders I discover!
