Sounds Of Steam, Steampunk to Reality: Making Your Dreams Come True, May 27th, 2013Sounds Of Steam, Steampunk to Reality: Making Your Dreams Come True, May 27th, 2013https://www.facebook.com/events/375130989274431We all have dreams that we would love to have come true. Some want to be writers, authors, and songwriters, others want to sing or start a band, and some just want to decorate their house to look like the inside of the Nautilus. Those things are too much to ask, are they? But they seem so far away, and almost impossible to achieve. How can you make them happen? Where do you even start? We know a bit about making dreams come true, and we draw upon the even greater knowledge of our guests, Warren and Betsy Talbot, and Ay-leen the Peacemaker, to help us give you ideas and ways, that are proven to work, to make your dreams become reality!Music by The Bewitched, Birthrite, The Blibbering Humdingers, The Cassettes, The Clockwork Dolls, The Cog is Dead, Fable Cry, Crimson Clocks, The Aeronauts, Automaton, Crystal Bright and the Silver Hands, The Electric Swing Circus, Doctor Steel, Emilie Autumn, The Extraordinary Contraptions, Escape the Clouds, BB Blackdog, Alexandra Hamer, Klaxton, Victor Sierra and more!***What is Sounds of Steam?It is a weekly, Steampunk-themed, internet-radio show, hosted by Travis I.

Hertha Ayrton: the Feminist TeslaAlthough the 19th and early 20th Centuries produced an extraordinary number of eccentric genii, Steampunk attention seems focused on only a few (Tesla, Babbage, &c.) As the editor of a site devoted to 19th Century physics, I occasionally come across historical figures who, I think, would greatly enliven the mix. One of these is Mrs. Ayrton (1854-1923) who, among other things, used solitons (!) to repel poison gas during the Great War; surely this alone ought to qualify her as a Steampunk heroine. She was also prominent in the Women's Suffrage movement, and in the opposition to antisemitism, being herself a secular Jew. She may have been the original of the emotionally complicated Jewish girl in "Daniel Deronda", and her gentile step-daughter married the Zionist Israel Zangwill, famous (or notorious) for eventually advocating a Jewish state somewhere less conflict-ridden than Palestine. I encourage everyone to find out more about her, and other figures of the period who do not yet suffer from overexposure.See More
