And some enthusiast is apparently trying to build Babbage's original designs for a computer.

So my newspaper's article on steampunk (their first ever, that I'm aware of) told me. I'm not really sure if it qualifies as a steampunk project if it's a genuine historical design, but since it's never actually been built, and it's a computer based on the steam engine, it should probably count.
It's apparently Steampunk month. Or fortnight, depending on which publisher you look at.

The Science Museum did one of Babbage's machines, yes, but not the big one.

You could just buy Steampunk and pre-order Steampunk II: Steampunk Reloaded

Matt Staggs was sending me something. Which I've not received. Stupid mail system.

It would seem The Difference Engine is essential Steampunk reading; it largely spawned the genre.

I will definitely try to hunt The Sprawl down then. *NM*

Not high art, maybe, but well written, well paced and thought provoking.
