I was wearing your top hat on the 'day of wrong' at the MD renaissance festival, and I swear I could have sold 20 of them if I had them. :)

Organic Armor Here's an interview with the curator of that steampunk exhibit in Oxford.
I like this quote:
Steampunk is "a tightly focused art movement whose practitioners faithfully borrow design elements from the grand schools of architecture, science and design and employ a strict philosophy where the physical form must be as equ...ally impressive as the function. It is, therefore, thoroughly contemporary. Steampunk seeks to re-define the aesthetics and usage of modern technology and in doing so, creates a romantic new standard for decorative and industrial arts."
