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.

taplamp
Tangelia sent me this one.
The taplamp uses a "glas spigot" that doubles as a switch and dimmer. The "glas spigot" is directly connected to the bulb. By turning the bulb you can switch and dim the light.
