Back from Museums & the Web in Indianapolis. Pretty good conference dedicated to Museums and online collections. Interesting to hear the pains and challenges of building a massive presence online from the client’s perspective, directed toward other museums about to undergo the same process (in the case I’m referring to from SFMOMA, MOMA and NGA).
Other non-conference highlights from the trip:
Navigating through Teabaggers on arrival
Tata Cuban Cafe
&
Dave Churchman’s Letterpress Warehouse in West Indianapolis. Over 30 years of accumulating (and rotating) wood and metal type, letterpress equipment as well as cuts and caps. My quest for a pilot press of my very own was halted when I found out how much they are now going for (thanks etsy). Kirsten made out well. A few pics follow, more can be seen here.
