'Punk

It's the odd little synchronicities that are the most entertaining...

While doing the battery discharge on the T60, I cruised YouTube.  And by one of those weird twists that only happens in the hypertextual world of the 'web, I found myself watching some videos about Steampunk.

I've alway had a weak-spot for aesthetics of steampunk.  The Victorian period fascinates me, and I obviously have sci-fi proclivities, so...  (To be honest, I also have some fascination for some aspects of goth as well, though I think my interests run more towards the 18th century "goths", the collectors of oddities...)

And, mentioning Oddities...  I sort of half-watched a couple of the new episodes of the show.  It was during the "coming up next" ads that I got the tingles, as they were running a show entitled Odd Folks Home, which I have somehow completely missed.  (I was shocked to find out it had been running since November of last year.  Where the hell have I been..?)   To my joy, the show is hosted by the charmingly wonderful Edgar Oliver.  So, of course, I had to watch it.

And, to complete the synchronicity, they were running a segment of the folks who own/operate Brute Force Studios, yes, a steampunk crew!  I'd honestly never heard of them before, but what I saw in the episode, and what I saw on their website, was quite cool.  (Loved the beautiful house.  And the work they do is quite incredible.  Besides, you have to love people who hang out in antique shops and dream up new uses for old odds-n-ends geegaws they find...)

So...  A bit of punk synchronicities...  Brought to you by the strangely soothing tones of Mr. Oliver...
