Hey folks– No burning issues on my plate this week except for that mild, pre-conference panic that hits when you realize that now it really is time to stop fiffling around and start putting paper ideas on actual (or virtual) paper.

I also wonder how the museum world wil survive if we alienate this generation of talented individuals between the ages of 22-40 by continuing to ignore a basic fact about them. Both are a [...]
That’s the question I’ve been thinking about for a couple of years. The original question came after watching a re-run of one of the original Star Trek episodes. It was a scene that was replayed, in innumerable variations, throughout the series, Dr. McCoy (aka “Bones”) was in the sick-bay running the scanner over someone passed [...]
That was my reply a couple of weeks ago to a friend and occasional colleague who, basically, told me to stop being lazy and start posting more regularly. He was chiding me for not stepping up to the plate the way I had at the beginning when this project started. I whined a little bit [...]
