I believe that Steampunk is more than just brass and watchparts. It's finding a way to combine the past and the future in an aesthetic pleasing yet still punkish way. It's living a life that looks old-fashioned, yet speaks to the future. It's taking the detritus of our modern technological society and remaking it into useful things. Join me as I search for items for my house that combine the scientific romanticism of the Victorians with our real present and imagined future.

Spotlight your Ray Guns
I've been oogling the West Magoon rayguns posted by Tinkergirl over at Brass Goggles, so may I suggest this Brass Halogen Picture Light as the perfect accompaniment? The ray guns come mounted already, but this brass light installed just above the mounting on the wall could be adjusted to shine a spotlight on the ray gun. Just imagine how good it would look at the end of a dusky hallway.
