Steampunk
Steampunk is a burgeoning counter-cultural movement; a genre, community, and artform. The Steampunk movement seeks to recapture the spirit of invention, adventure, and craftsmanship reminiscent of earlynineteenth century industrialization, in part, to restore a sense of wonder to a technology-jaded world. Packed with 1,000 color photographs, 1,000 Steampunk Creations features a showcase of stunning jewelry, fashion, accessories, headgear, artwork, home decorations, and curious contraptions.

There’s no doubt about it the PC has successfully taken over our lives (in a good way – not like HAL out of 2001. That would be terrifying.) especially when it comes to photography. It may be the digital age but what are you expected to do with all of your old photos? The Pandigital Photo Scanner gives you an alternative to chucking your well loved photos in a box destined to become another dusty loft feature. Scanning your 4×6 glossies is now easier than ever. Attempting to scan them on a flat bed scanner can become rather tiresome especially when you have to spend a good minute lining them up so they don’t show up wonky on your computer (wonky is a perfectly acceptable technical term). With the Pandigital you just slip the pic into the photo sheath (included) and then feed it into the tiny scanner. Simple as. Your photo will then be saved onto a media card that you can then transfer to your Digital Photo Frame or store for safe keeping. You can even hook it up to your PC if all you want to do is create a digital replica of the image. It can be nice having a hard copy of a photograph but over time the photo fades the dust starts to settle and before you know it your trip to the zoo is a yellow fazed shadow. With the Pandigital scanner you can make sure the image stays as fresh as the picture in your head.

George Hall doesn’t understand the modern obsession with talking about everything. ‘The secret of contentment George felt lay in ignoring many things completely.’ Some things in life however cannot be ignored. At fifty-seven George is settling down to a comfortable retirement building a shed in his garden reading historical novels listening to a bit of light jazz. Then Katie his tempestuous daughter announces that she is getting remarried to Ray. Her family is not pleased – as her brother Jamie observes Ray has ‘strangler’s hands’. Katie can’t decide if she loves Ray or loves the wonderful way he has with her son Jacob and her mother Jean is a bit put out by all the planning and arguing the wedding has occasioned which get in the way of her quite fulfilling late-life affair with one of her husband’s former colleagues. And the tidy and pleasant life Jamie has created crumbles when he fails to invite his lover Tony to the dreaded nuptials. Unnoticed in the uproar George discovers a sinister lesion on his hip and quietly begins to lose his mind.The way these damaged people fall apart – and come together – as a family is the true subject of Mark Haddon’s disturbing yet very funny portrait of a dignified man trying to go insane politely.
