Autism Awareness Month
What is Autism? We hear about it a lot. But what is it really? It's a very complex disorder, which varies from person to person. But it is at it's core a disorder that affects the social behaviors of a person. There are vast differences in how drastic autism can be, so you can't really judge and compare one case with another.
April has been Autism awareness month, and I hope this isn't the first time this month you've seen something about it. You may know someone that has autism, and not even know it.
(( Sorry Esme that this is so late in the month, I thought it had published earlier in the month, but I Clearly have been away from the desktop more than I should be, many apologies Hun.))

Airlords of Airia
This is a great film short. I hope you enjoy it, it gives you a different storyline to think about for steampunk and it's a bit of fun to watch.

Just Visiting : The Mutter Museum
Sometimes there's an oddity you can't explain. But through the years people have learned how to explain them. But that doesn't mean that the morbid curiosity some events and discoveries have created has disappeared now that there is more knowledge. Science has often been used to explain the peculiar, as well as to find solutions to cure oddities. And that's where we find the Mutter Museum.
The Mütter Museum
19 South 22nd Street
Philadelphia, PA 19103
To be quite honest the best way I can explain some of the things that I've seen associated with this museum fall under the category of bizarre and grotesque. That doesn't mean it's a bad thing, I happen to find it intriguing personally. The displays vary as to content, as the museum's collection has been collected over a very long period of time. The museum was originally established as a teaching tool for medicine in 1849. This was before X-rays and antibiotics, so there were a number of maladies that may not have been diagnosed without the knowledge that they existed.
One exhibit in particular that they have is of interest to me. They're calling it "Grimms' Anatomy" but why is it of interest to me? Well it's a study of Grimms' fairy tales and the bodies and instruments presented in the stories. The actual book of fairy tales is very long and full of a wide variety of tales that have become fluffy in our modern times. Some of them are quite gruesome.
But what's fascinating to me is that they're using real world examples alongside the stories to help illustrate what might be the reasoning for a deformity. Or maybe the result of some of the details in the stories. I'm not entirely certain. All I know is that it's an exhibit that I'd be interested in seeing at some point. I read that it should be there through 2015 sometime. So maybe if I dream really big I'll get a chance to see it. You never know.

Music Monday 14
Alright, it's about time we do another post of steampunk music. I bet a number of you have started to wonder if I've forgotten all about the genre. Well, I haven't. I've just been listening to a wide variety of music, and it doesn't hurt to keep ones mind sharp and open to the different kinds of sound that are available in the world today. We're blessed with the ability to explore the sounds heard around the world, so it's worth it to take the time to enjoy them.
Hope you have an amazing week! Here we go with some fun steampunk music! (not all the bands are classified as steampunk, but the songs have qualities that make them valid additions to the genre.)
