The Happiest Days of Our Lives
These are the stories Wil loves to tell, because they are the closest to his heart: stories about being a huge geek, passing his geeky hobbies and values along to his own children, and vividly painting what it meant to grow up in the ’70s and come of age in the ’80s as part of the video game/D&D/BBS/Star Wars figures generation.
Buy Just A Geek: The Audiobook
- "This journey is a fascinating read, made even more intimate and fulfilling by Wil's narrative. This is not just an audio book, it's a glimpse into the psyche of the man who considers himself . . . Just a Geek."

Holy crap cool. Larry Blamire's movie Lost Skeleton of Cadavra is comedy gold, and a must-see for any fan of Ed Wood or MST3k.

Cutlasses are curved with a wider blade near the tip. They're using sabers.

Have you read the Girl Genius comic they have an interesting steampunk vibe.
Girlgeniusonline.com (sorry I don't know how to make it a link)

Nothing wrong with Steampunk at all. Check out the wikipedia listing for various goodies that are either inspired or derived from Steampunk.
Definitely check out Girl Genius.

If Trek fans are "trekkies", what are fans of steampunk called?
Steamers?

Oh and I second the Girl Genius suggestion but there's no way that you are not already a reader. ^__^
