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.
Didn't the Science Museum in London already do that?
Also, I thought it was hand powered not steam powered?

It's apparently Steampunk month. Or fortnight, depending on which publisher you look at.

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

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

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.

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