Steampunk is a multifaceted genre with literature, music, clothing, inventions, gadgetry, and other design types all richly represented. Tonight we discuss if and how we pull aspects of our passion for Steampunk into our regular lives.

Update: #SteampunkChat WILL be continuing over the summer with either myself (@artificer13) or @Jenny_Schwartz + guest at the helm.

TampaSteampunk @Jenny_Schwartz At least that’s what I’m working on for my steampunk journo outfits. Hard to do multimedia in a corset. #steampunkchat -8:41 PM Aug 3rd, 2012
TampaSteampunk @Jenny_Schwartz I’d think to guys that tie pins, cravat pins, cuff links, etc could add steamy flair. #steampunkchat -8:41 PM Aug 3rd, 2012
artificer13 @FebruaryGrace Welcome aboard! We’re currently discussing ways to be thrifty about SP in daily life. #steampunkchat -8:40 PM Aug 3rd, 2012

vonExplaino @TampaSteampunk #steampunkchat I do have to check out Transmetropolitan some time. Keep meaning to. -8:24 PM Aug 3rd, 2012
TampaSteampunk @vonExplaino It’s what I used to edit my main picture on the lik to my website I tweeted earlier. #steampunkchat -8:24 PM Aug 3rd, 2012

artificer13 @MichelV69 You’re correct, his pre- “Indifference Engine” work is mostly classic hip hop, but “IE” is pure SP Gold! #steampunkchat -8:22 PM Aug 3rd, 2012
vonExplaino @artificer13 #steampunkchat Girl Genius brought me back into the fold. But that’s available online for nada regardless. -8:21 PM Aug 3rd, 2012

artificer13 @vonExplaino I really have a blind spot for comics. I gave ‘em up around ’91 and have never been able to get back into them #steampunkchat -8:21 PM Aug 3rd, 2012
MichelV69 @artificer13 Absolutely. Just ran out of space. I don’t think everything he does is #steampunk, but I enjoy his work #steampunkchat -8:20 PM Aug 3rd, 2012
TampaSteampunk @MichelV69 *turn. Can’t type tonight. Ugh. Sick. #steampunkchat -8:20 PM Aug 3rd, 2012
vonExplaino #steampunkchat There have been a few good kickstarter/ pozzibles for accoutrements. Afforementioned iPocketWatch was a good one. -8:19 PM Aug 3rd, 2012
TampaSteampunk @MichelV69 for me it’s about attention span. I’m used to doing journalism and we have to ten around articles quickly. #steampunkchat -8:19 PM Aug 3rd, 2012
artificer13 @MichelV69 are you a fan of @prof_elemental? He has a new album dropping soon. #steampunk #chaphop #splendid #steampunkchat -8:19 PM Aug 3rd, 2012
MichelV69 @TampaSteampunk The hardest part is having the discipline to just sit down and write. Not worry, edit, fuss… just write. #steampunkchat -8:18 PM Aug 3rd, 2012
TampaSteampunk @artificer13 Thanks! It was a beast to get up. I’m no website designer or coder, but I worked feverishly on this. #Steampunkchat -8:18 PM Aug 3rd, 2012
Jenny_Schwartz @vonExplaino I wish I could say I code OR design. Sadly. Neither. #steampunkchat Off to look! -8:18 PM Aug 3rd, 2012
vonExplaino #steampunkchat My local comic store knows to nab me anything steampunk related too. Lots of good comics/ graphic novels etc. -8:18 PM Aug 3rd, 2012

artificer13 @MichelV69 Ah! I’m more used to their urban cousins. Tall, 3-stories, 1 turret, lots o gables. Lots of them in town here. #steampunkchat -8:11 PM Aug 3rd, 2012
TampaSteampunk @cassiecaine Now it’s just convincing the bf lol. He’s a fan of white walls and I abhore them. #Steampunkchat -8:10 PM Aug 3rd, 2012
vonExplaino @TampaSteampunk #steampunkchat Pipe bookshelf? Got link? -8:09 PM Aug 3rd, 2012
artificer13 @TampaSteampunk Plus I have massive dust/mould allergies, so my house is all stone, leather, wood. Easily cleaned surfaces. #steampunkchat -8:09 PM Aug 3rd, 2012
cassiecaine @TampaSteampunk Paint does wonders for condos and other small spaces. #steampunkchat -8:09 PM Aug 3rd, 2012
TampaSteampunk @vonExplaino I’d like to construct that pipe bookshelf I’ve seen locating around the interwebz. #Steampunkchat -8:09 PM Aug 3rd, 2012
VonMalcolm I haven’t incorporated Steampunk into my everyday life; I’m still trying to incorporate it into my Brain. #SteamComingOutEars #SteampunkChat -8:08 PM Aug 3rd, 2012
vonExplaino @TampaSteampunk #steampunkchat constraints can give more ways to be creative. Brass fixtures must look great. -8:08 PM Aug 3rd, 2012
MichelV69 @artificer13 The area I’m in is a lot of farm houses, so they are bigger than the more often-thought of urban designs #steampunkchat -8:08 PM Aug 3rd, 2012
TampaSteampunk @artificer13 Not to mention the general tackiness of upholstery, carpeting, and wallpaper. #Steampunkchat -8:07 PM Aug 3rd, 2012
Jenny_Schwartz @cassiecaine No stress, but I’ve long envied people who could paint their walls, murals I mean. Need more coffee! #Steampunkchat -8:07 PM Aug 3rd, 2012
TampaSteampunk In my home- vintage clocks, specifically steampunkesque clocks, brass fixings. I live in a condo so I’m limited. #Steampunkchat -8:06 PM Aug 3rd, 2012
vonExplaino #steampunkchat My desk has become more cluttered with half-realised device plans. Not a real on-purpose-daily-life add that one. -8:06 PM Aug 3rd, 2012
artificer13 @MichelV69 as much as I love Victorian design, I dislike the generally small windows and divided spaces of Vic. homes. #steampunkchat -8:06 PM Aug 3rd, 2012
Jenny_Schwartz @CathyPegau If anyone makes a steampunk dirigible, I’ll conquer my caution re heights & sign up instantly for flight! #steampunkchat -8:06 PM Aug 3rd, 2012
MichelV69 @artificer13 Where I live, there are Victorian era homes everywhere… so it’s my hope to get one and have fun with decor. #steampunkchat -8:05 PM Aug 3rd, 2012
Jenny_Schwartz @cassiecaine Yes! How cool! #steampunkchat Do you have a photo? -8:04 PM Aug 3rd, 2012
TampaSteampunk Clothing-wise, lace-up boots with skirt suits, steamy jewelry, and clockwork hair pieces. #steampunkchat -8:04 PM Aug 3rd, 2012
vonExplaino #steampunkchat I’ve been slowly building into my regular wardrobe steampunk elements. iPocketWatch, more hats, more formality. -8:04 PM Aug 3rd, 2012
artificer13 @Jenny_Schwartz You have my word that I won’t tell. #steampunkchat -8:04 PM Aug 3rd, 2012
cassiecaine I painted a kraken on my wall. Does that count? #steampunkchat -8:04 PM Aug 3rd, 2012
Jenny_Schwartz @MichelV69 Repurposing is fascinating. Some people so creative #steampunkchat -8:04 PM Aug 3rd, 2012
artificer13 @MichelV69 I’m sure most of us don’t live in a replica of Disney’s “Nautilus”. I know I don’t. My house is VERY mid-century #steampunkchat -8:03 PM Aug 3rd, 2012
Jenny_Schwartz Can’t wait to hear how people integrate #steampunk into their lives #steampunkchat -8:03 PM Aug 3rd, 2012
MichelV69 I do try & integrate the “maker culture” into how I live, tho. A smarter eye to reusing/ repurposing stuff than recycling #steampunkchat -8:03 PM Aug 3rd, 2012
Jenny_Schwartz @artificer13 Thanks! I abandoned another chat with rushed politeness to get here #steampunkchat -8:03 PM Aug 3rd, 2012
artificer13 @Jenny_Schwartz You made it just under the wire Welcome aboard this morning. #steampunkchat -8:02 PM Aug 3rd, 2012
MichelV69 Good evening, all. I’m currently space-sharing with other folks, so living the aesthetic of Steampunk isn’t something I do. #steampunkchat -8:02 PM Aug 3rd, 2012
Jenny_Schwartz Have coffee! which I nearly thought I didn’t have time to make. Now #steampunkchat -8:01 PM Aug 3rd, 2012
artificer13 @vonExplaino we are indeed! Welcome aboard. #steampunkchat -8:00 PM Aug 3rd, 2012
