The art of steampunk. The Humanities Review: Why I write horror. Insightful piece, if occasionally off-base. Web posts earn deals for […]

It’s a very Steampunk Saturday today for some reason… La Machine. Gorgeous website, and home of… La Princesse, the 50-foot mechanical spider invading Liverpool. (Thanks Brent!) Dan Rebert, monstermaker. Not steampunk, but very cool. The Insect Lab. I want one of these clockwork beetles so badly.

A couple of little notes before leaving the office for the rest of 2007… Tori Amos comic anthology coming in 2008. Comic Book Tattoo: awesome. Mass Effect as transmedia property. I smell a paper. Dead Space as transmedia property. I smell another paper. PICNIC conference videos. Must-see TV.
