...steampunk iPhone apps available on iTunes. Magazines like Steampunk and blogs like Brass Goggles and the Heliograph track the scene. A museum in Oxford, England, is currently holding an exhibition of steampunk art. The steampunk meet-up at last summer's Comic-Con in San Diego was mobbed. In late October, Seattle hosted Steamcon, its first annual steampunk convention...
...afternoon in late October, Whitman, 53, was pulling all the jingles out, like clubs from a golf bag. It was the sort of performance that the former CEO of eBay - and newcomer to the whirlpool known as electoral politics - has become almost slick at delivering. She was standing on a platform, microphone in hand, at the edge of a beautiful garden in the wealthy desert enclave of Rancho Mirage, a town described as a "hotbed of GOP cash" by an attendee.

...Road to SacramentoThe downside of Whitman's trial-by-fire learning process became obvious when she confronted the first major hiccup of her campaign.

But it could open a whole series...
...taken it all sitting down. Amazingly, each and every day has gotten worse: humiliating text messages, allegations of bedding porn stars and prostitutes. And amazingly, Woods never punched back, leaving reasonable people to wonder whether it's all true. Now, employing the media spinmeister's trick of dumping news late on Friday afternoon, Woods has admitted on Dec. 12 to "infidelity" (ah, that's what he meant by his original confession of "transgressions") and announced on his website that he's going to stop playing golf for a while. Tiger is in retreat. The fight will come another...
