I love that Teddy quote. I wish we had more Presidents like him.
And the Boston Brahmins as proto-otaku (try saying that five times fast) is a pretty endearing meme. You could steampunk it up, take The Difference Engine forward 30 years or so, and have the best clacker-tech come from Japan, along with sequential art and kinemascopes that are distinctively Japanese.
