Steampunk has been around for decades in prose and comics and crappy cosplay, but has there ever been an actual steampunk movie? What usually gets marketed as steampunk, especially in the movies, is stuff that references the aesthetic without creating a world in which any of the tech makes sense. There’s no alternate history, there’s […]
I follow cyberpunk, cool-hunting author William Gibson on Twitter. The other day, he tweeted, “It would be so cool if the 1% dressed exclusively in steampunk Prada. Even just for a week.” I retweeted his post and asked, “Who do I know who’d rock this too?” I’m pretty sure I know a lot of people […]
2012 is just barreling along already, so it is time to share my top literary picks for 2011. The Panama Laugh by Thomas S. Roche Best zombie novel ever. Thomas S. Roche‘s sorta first novel The Panama Laugh is a really great read. The book is equal parts old school men’s adventure and modern cutting […]
A Gentleman’s Duel is an animation from Blur Studios. It was featured on Wowtion, a now-defunct animation zine, some time back, but has been a bit viral lately. Steampunk transformers and boobies. And the dismissive insult of telling someone offering champagne to the object of one’s affections that alcohol is the French recipe for romance. […]

A couple nights ago, I made cupcakes, for the first time since I was a kid. I learned that (a) there is a reason to have those little paper cups in there, (b) a popover pan is actually not as analgous to a cupcake pan as the uninitiated (i.e. me) might guess, and (c) there […]
I have to admit that I prefer my science fiction a little grittier and a lot better acted and directed than network television can generally offer. So I don’t usually get my fix from ABC or SyFy. As a Wesleyan alum, I wanted to like Serenity, but I thought the captain character was just way […]
Are ray gun vibrators steampunk? This is the sort of question I lie awake at night contemplating. Steampunk is a sub-genre of science fiction/fantasy/speculative fiction, which builds on the works of H. G. Wells and Jules Verne. Now H. G. Wells and Jules Verne were both geniuses and can be forgiven for imagining future technology […]
It is no secret that I love the vampire genre. I received Honors at Wesleyan University for my thesis on vampire legends as a paradigm for aggressive human sexuality. And I would like the record to show that I will be speaking on exactly that topic this weekend at Vampire Con in Hollywood. I’ll be […]
Mike Judge’s Office Space is a hysterically brilliant piece on the soul-sucking nature of certain sorts of employment. The scene where they smash the fax machine is one of the most inspiring moments in American cinema ever. Viewpoint character Peter Gibbons, played with perfect comic timing by Ron Livingston, decides that, rather than quitting his […]
