What if witty cultural commentators reviewed museums the way they do music and restaurants? If Anthony Lane turned his cutting tongue from movies to museums?

This summer, we opened two exhibitions at my museum that are highly relevant to local culture. One is about the Grateful Dead ( Dear Jerry ), the other about the dawn of surfing in the Americas ( Princes of Surf ). These two pieces of wood are like the Shroud of Turin of surfing in the Americas. Killer content. Muscle and bone.

Once upon a long time ago, North America was bursting with animals that were really big. It’s the largest flying bird in North America.

Seeing a significant number of emails being sent during this time period begs the causation or correlation question. Getting the right message to the right people at the right time is still critical. My favourite email subject line during December was “No, you can’t have my blender” from Oxfam America.

One nonprofit sent me 21 emails during the month, which was slightly down from the all-time record of 23 last year. The Nature Conservancy gets the Best Text Message Award for the second year in a row.
