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.

Steampunk
T.R. Westwood: distinguished professor of biology and the galaxy’s greatest hunter is in for the biggest challenge of his career. When an unknown animal starts killing off settlers on a backwater planet run on coal and steam power, he’s the only person who can help stop the slaughter. Rocks and spears or shotguns and canons, he’ll use whatever is allowed to get the job done.
In a post-singularity future where the human race has spread to millions of worlds, sometimes the native animal population isn’t exactly compatible with our expanding civilization. Taking advantage of a mind as sharp as his aim, Westwood is the only man you call if local wildlife gets out of control and starts devouring your local population.
The Grendel’s Shadow is 35,000 word novella mixing elements of post singularity science fiction, steampunk, horror and western.

Noir
Alfred Hitchcock considered this 1943 thriller to be his personal favourite among his own films, and although it’s not as popular as some of Hitchcock’s later work, it’s certainly worthy of the master’s admiration. Scripted by playwright Thornton Wilder and inspired by the actual case of a 1920s serial killer known as “The Merry Widow Murderer,” Shadow of a Doubt sets a tone of menace and fear by introducing a psychotic killer into the small-town comforts of Santa Rosa, California. That’s where young Charlie (Teresa Wright) lives with her parents and two younger siblings, and where murder is little more than a topic of morbid conversation for their mystery-buff neighbour (Hume Cronyn). Charlie was named after her favourite uncle, who has just arrived for an extended visit, and at first Uncle Charlie (Joseph Cotten) gets along famously with his admiring niece. But the film’s chilling prologue has already revealed Uncle Charlie’s true identity as the notorious Merry Widow Murderer, and the suspense grows almost unbearable when young Charlie’s trust gives way to gradual dread and suspicion. Through narrow escapes and a climactic scene aboard a speeding train, this witty thriller strips away the fa ade of small-town tranquillity to reveal evil where it’s least expected. And, of course, it’s all done in pure Hitchcockian style. –Jeff Shannon

Amazon.co.uk Review David Lynch peeks behind the picket fences of small-town America to reveal a corrupt shadow world of malevolence, sadism and madness. From the opening shots Lynch turns the Technicolor picture postcard images of middle-class homes and tree-lined lanes into a dreamy vision on the edge of nightmare. After his father collapses in a preternaturally eerie sequence, college boy Kyle MacLachlan returns home and stumbles across a severed human ear in a vacant lot. With the help of sweetly innocent high school girl (Laura Dern), he turns junior detective and uncovers a frightening yet darkly compelling world of voyeurism and sex. Drawn deeper into the brutal world of drug dealer and blackmailer Frank, played with raving mania by an obscenity-shouting Dennis Hopper in a career-reviving performance, he loses his innocence and his moral bearings when confronted with pure, unexplainable evil. Isabella Rossellini is terrifyingly desperate as Hopper’s sexual slave who becomes MacLachlan’s illicit lover, and Dean Stockwell purrs through his role as Hopper’s oh-so-suave buddy. Lynch strips his surreally mundane sets to a ghostly austerity, which composer Angelo Badalamenti encourages with the smooth, spooky strains of a lush score. Blue Velvet is a disturbing film that delves into the darkest reaches of psycho-sexual brutality and simply isn’t for everyone. But for a viewer who wants to see the cinematic world rocked off its foundations, David Lynch delivers a nightmarish masterpiece. –Sean Axmaker
