Museum 2.0

SEPTEMBER 2, 2015

Michael Jackson had just died, and I was at the Experience Music Project in Seattle, where they hastily erected an exhibit of the jacket and glove he wore in the Thriller video. Grown men fighting for seats at lectures about the history of the boards. Who in their right minds would show up at 8am on a Sunday for a history event?

Nothing warms my heart like seeing outtakes of a guy trying to scale the walls of MSI, or a man spinning a yarn about his family's long history sleeping in museums.

Today I discovered Cityzenjane's blog and her i_like_to_watch tag/delicious rss feed via a comment to one of my blog posts. At first, I thought it was comment spam promoting a porno site but far from it. I have about 20 regular subscribers now. Mostly people who run green blogs I suspect.
