As if I needed another reason to punch John Norris in the throat, I've hated that guy since 1989 because he's always a pompous douchecanoe. The article contained a tad more info than the actual 3 minute story the aired, which was...*shudder*.
At least they mentioned my beloved Dr. Steel and Vernian Process! Well, they mentioned VP in the article, at least; Joshua Pfeiffer's interview was cut out of the blurb but he's going to be putting it up on Youtube "to bore (us) for ten minutes", heh.
Josh also said "And while I'm ranting, what is up with almost all of the people being interviewed being a bunch of Cosplayers?? Since when did Steampunk = Cosplay? I'm totally fine with people having fun and dressing up in wacky Victorian costumes, and I really have a lot of respect for people that can craft their own gadgets and such... but they aren't the best representatives of the genre. The people they should have interviewed would include William Gibson, Bruce Sterling, Alan Moore, Michael Moorcock, KW Jeter, Phil Foglio, Datamancer, The 2 Jakes, and Cory Gross to name a few important people."
Datamancer got a nod in the written article at least! >:(
