Thanks for letting us know the good news! As someone who packed up, moved, and finally sold a house less than a year ago, I feel your pain. Enjoy your vacation!
Congratulations your shop opening! I visited there last evening and it is so nice!
Good selection and everything is arranged for easy browsing. What a great addition to Babbage!
Ah! Very good, sir. Welcome back!
Profile Information
- What has brought you to New Babbage and SL Steampunk?
- I am a hardcore reader and fan of the Victorian period when England ruled literature, arts, and the world. Combine that with a fascination of cyberpunk and danger and where else would I be? In Babbage, naturally. Steampunk has found a near perfect expression here in SL.
I am drawn to the creative spirit, sense of adventure, and wicked humor found in many of Babbage's denizens.
I adore not knowing what is around the corner in Babbage, not knowing what to expect. Werner Herzog in conversation with Errol Morris:
"If everything was planned, it would be dreadful. If everything was unplanned, it would be equally dreadful."
- Could you provide a bit of background about yourself?
- Looking back on my childhood, I see now that I had a privileged life. My father, a respected politician, and my mother, a social maven, dearly loved my brother and me. While Eduard and I lacked for nothing growing up, we did not have that air of entitlement that so frequently accompanies wealth. My parents insisted that I be educated abroad so I could learn English and receive a rigorous university education. I am grateful that my parents insisted I leave for my education, because it saved my life.
Life changes, sometimes blindingly fast; my mother died of a fever and my father was assassinated during a political coup. While Eduard was visiting me, a stranger attacked us. Only by the grace of a strange warrior who became my guardian am I still alive. Poor Eduard was slain by the unknown villain. Thus I came to Caledon and then to Babbage. I am alone and trying to discover the villain's identity as best I can.
Thus began my new life.
With the passage of time here in Babbage, I am more confident in my ability to negotiate the streets and to recognize friend from foe. This once quiet bluestocking has developed an edge. I seek the villain who murdered my brother. I seek answers.
Loaded with attitude, fiercely independent, and sometimes funny, I will find what I want to know.

The Fabulous Maker Faire
First of all, my sincere apologies for the hit or miss quality of the photographs. I had to share with you a few pictures taken at Maker Faire in Austin, TX.
While not strictly steampunk, the event captures the steampunk spirit of inventiveness and imagination. What could be better than being greeted at the entrance to the expo center by a fish car with a lobster singing bawdy songs? Or watching RoboGames (my inner geek thrilled and chilled) as the crowd cheered the various death dealing robots… Continue
