Your result for The Steampunk Style Test...

The Gadgeteer


You are the Gadgeteer, the embodiment of steampunk technology. Ironically, many of the things that most define your style are probably too large to easily carry about, but given the opportunity you would prefer to be seen surrounded by boiler engines, gear-driven calculators, and incredible automata. Of all the steampunk fashion styles, you place the greatest emphasis on technological accessories, and you are the most likely to create elaborate gadgets that are as much a part of your outfit as your clothes. You probably have goggles, but unlike most people you consider them to be for more than decoration. Whereas most people might look odd carrying a satchel of tools around, for you they may well be essential. Above all, you remind everyone that what sets the genre apart from Victoriana is simply the level of technology.

Steampunk... fashion? Fashion? What is this fashion of which you speak? It sounds like you're referring to shop aprons or work pants, and not something *really* interesting like a double crank compound traction engine. Now hand me that left-handed lurning wrench... I think I just need to make a little adjustment here...

Heh. That's what I got.

Of course, I'm more of a clacker than a tinkerer.

In Sterling & Gibson's The Difference Engine, "clacker" referred to the "typists" who punched out the engine's instructions, and those who intercepted information flow.

(Unless I'm grossly misremembering.)

Which reminds me, I have to read that.
