Evolution of Steampunk
It is very interesting to witness the evolution of a new social movement. The steampunk kids are just discovering each other, and all sorts of social/technological/fashionable things are happening.
Katherine and I went to see Abney Park, disputably one of the first “Steampunk-style” bands, on Sunday. They played at the Edison, an amazing high class bar in downtown LA. It originally was the first electric power plant in LA. Check out both web sites:

BTW, Absinthe is now legal in the USA. It will mess you up. I’m still recovering from Sunday.

About
Photographer and social adventurer, I tend to seek my own path. By day, I am a mild mannered teacher of all things Apple. By night I participate in unusual events such as Burning Man, Dickens Fair, Renaissance Faire, RoboGames, the X PRIZE Cup, and Space Frontier Foundation Conferences. My love of space travel and all things Apple are matched by a fascination for underground art and alternative living.
It is tough being an artistic person in an industry dominated by engineers and programmers. I learned to translate their language into a human tongue, so that novices can understand the technology that surrounds our modern world.
The goal of this blog is twofold:
1. Encourage me to write! And to write as much as possible.
2. Gather ideas and interesting resources for my books
I want to publish books about space tourism and my other unique experiences.
Check out the my efforts with the Space Tourism Society here.
Check out my photographs on my Flickr site to get a feel for who I am and places I’ve been.
