Steampunked
Ok, so who do I have to sleep with to get a computer and monitor steampunked? It’s expensive as fuck (well, not really, considering..), but it would definitely be something that I would invest in, should I become.. A tiny bit more wealthy :o).
I’m a sucker for aestethics, I really am, but they also seem fun to type with somehow.
You can head over to datamancer.net to see for yourself what I am raving about. Or just look at this picture (that I shamelessly stole from the aforementioned web site).
Isn’t it a thing of beauty? ‘It will be mine, oh yes, it will be mine!’ ‘My precioussss..’ Ok, enough with the movie quotes, you get the picture. It’s just that, I just discovered this steampunk thing (I’ve liked it, but I never knew there was a word for it), I think it was yesterday when I showed D a picture of what I wanted to be the feel of the technology humans use in a story of mine, and he said ‘Steampunk’. So, I googled and found many wondrous things. To tell you the truth it was both relieving and a little, hm, disappointed to find such a thing actually exists, that you basically think you’ve thought up yourself (well, almost), and then there’s a whole sub-genre of that stuff.
Suffice it to say, my computer look way to futuristic, and so does my keyboard and monitor. But I guess that’s just the era we live in, everything is black and silver. Kind of boring when you think of it..
