Non-traditional clothing

We now have almost all of our wedding clothes, in the old style, from an electro-ethereal merchant of renown.

I need a hat, perhaps (a non-trivial task on the best of days); also shoes to match my spats. I could stand to obtain a pocketwatch and chain, but I fear it will see little practical use.

Yes, dear readers, I now possess brass goggles. Contact lenses are now a higher priority.

Steampunk rayguns

Words can not express just quite how much I want one of Dr Grordbort's Infallible Aether Oscillators. Sadly, I do not have $700 USD to drop on a handmade, metal-and-glass creation, even if it is done by the geniuses at Weta. I could also live with more steampunk technology in day-to-day life- there's simply not enough aether or pneumatic tubes these days.

Thanks to Wired for the original article. Actual art an imagination by Greg Broadmore (webbernet coming from New Zealand, so patience is a virtue!).

In a similar vein, mechanical television fascinates me.
