Our girl Nina Simon just penned, in my opinion, an important article about the usefulness of working on the museum floor from time to time. Now, I’m the first to admit that the thought of working the floor can terrify me – I can be shy, and I’m not great with intentionally chatting up strangers [...]
I admit it. I’m addicted to my Crackberry. I get a lot of emails and while my Crackberry may not be the status symbol that the iPhone is, its really good with Novell’s GroupWise email – (un)affectionately know as GroupWoes at my institution. Its not the enterprise RIM server that ensures my Crackberry is in [...]
There’s a pretty good article in Newsweek on the issue of privacy, proposing the almost obvious idea that privacy is the new online currency, but putting it very well: The genius of Google, Facebook, and others is that they’ve created services that are so useful or entertaining that people will give up some privacy in [...]
We’re deep in an application selection process for a fairly significant piece of software, so I’m enjoying myself immensely because its vendor demo time. I love vendor demos, they’re fascinating. When I attend successive demos for a particular application I increasingly focus less on the product and more on the people who have been selected [...]
I have just learned that today, March 14, is Pi Day. (And Einstein’s birthday, while we’re at it.) Never knew this particular treat existed. And I love odd holidays. Yet another excuse to celebrate! Others may eat pie (apparently an authorized celebratory food), but I intend to have 3.14 beers. Lots of stuff at the [...]
I have to share this “low tech” trailer for Chrome, just in case you haven’t seen it:
I’m a U.S. immigrant – legal I might add. Currently I’m a permanent resident and if my wife has her way I’ll be a citizen in the not-too-distant future. My mum has a different opinion, something about “over her dead body”. Although there is a distinct twang to it, I think I still have a [...]
Recently, a press release went out about a new appointment to a local museum. I’ll be somewhat vague here, as the particulars don’t matter to the discussion, but there was a phrase within that had some of my colleagues (and myself) a bit piqued. The release stated how excited the person was to be working [...]
Hello folks. Apologies in advance, I am going to take advantage of my position as a Musematic Blogger to proudly announce the debut blog of my 16 year old son, Nick. He’s flown the coop for a semester and is busy discovering The Big Apple (foreign study in NYC we call it). This week’s assignment–for [...]
The Museum of London is one of my very favorite museums. The mega-museums in London are a source of constant amazement: The National Gallery, The National Portrait Gallery, The Victoria and Albert, the Tate Modern, and the Grandfather of them all The British Museum. There is just so much stuff and, for the most part, [...]
