This is the scanner that converts and restores 35mm slide images to their original quality. Its magazine accepts up to 50 slides at a time, scanning them automatically one-at-a-time, enabling large-scale conversion projects, and each slide may be previewed using the built-in light panel. A full 5,000 x 5,000 dpi resolution scan-its highest setting-of a single slide takes just over three minutes, capturing all the details of the original image at 34 megapixels.
Once converted, the software removes surface defects such as dust and scratches from an image (after the scanner’s infrared sensor detects dust), restores original colors from faded film images, and removes film grain from converted images. Images are saved onto a computer using the included USB cable. Includes Adobe Photoshop Elements 9.0 software.

This is the docking station that converts an iPad into a desktop computer. Extending from the dock is a mounting arm that secures an iPad on three sides, rotating 90º to offer portrait or landscape orientation while providing 45º of tilt. Sound is played from two upwards-firing, 5-watt speakers inside the dock, providing crisp, clear reproduction of music, game or movie soundtracks; includes an auxiliary line input for additional audio devices equipped with a 3.5mm jack. The dock includes a remote for controlling volume, next track, stop, pause, and play.

Once again Gursky makes bank with a picture which could have been taken by just about anyone. Unlike one of his truly interesting and talented pieces such as Chicago Board of Trade, Rhein II features some grass and then some water and then some more grass. Perhaps the effect is lost when looking at the image on a computer as opposed to it’s six foot tall physical form. Gursky’s print was just sold for $4,338,500 at auction, making it the most expensive photograph ever sold.

Of course the number one thing we all want from our experience is great food, but sometimes other factors can affect our memory of the whole evening — our company for the evening, the restaurant’s ambiance, and especially the service we get. Having never been a server, I can only imagine how difficult it is to deal with customers night after night, some more demanding than others — that post is coming soon — but for now, here is my list of the five types of servers I’ve encountered that have made a for a bad dining experience.
