We all keep talking about Web 2.0 integration in Museums, but who’s really doing it? The answer is: The Ontario Science Center!
When I found out that the Ontario Science Center was creating videos and posting them on YouTube I thought “These are the smartest guys and gals in Science Museums”. Kudos.
They do it right: […]
I awoke this morning to a low rattling sound. I briefly wondered if I was experiencing an earthquake. This being only my third month in California, I still carry all the East Coast paranoia about the West’s tectonic instability. The bed wasn’t shaking though, so I cast a wider mental net.

Silvia Filippini Fantoni from Antenna Audio, Elissa Chin from the Museum of Science and myself presented a panel at the Association of Science and Technology Centers in Louisville KY on Monday.

Say I have to move […]
My husband got a head start on this, and by “head start”, I mean he hasn’t waited six months to share what we learned about the rules of the road in New Zealand.
We’ve been on-and-off planes and in airports for the last 24 hours. Sleep has been more of a goal than an accomplishment. […]
If you don’t know Deadwood yet, and you can stand a little (okay, a lot) of cussing, you owe it to yourself to check it out. It’s by far the most captivating show on television (and I’m including British TV in this bold and sweeping statement, so you know I’m serious).

With internet advertising rates skyrocketing in the last year, it’s becoming ever more important to maximize results on free search engines like Google. SEO (Search Engine Optimization) is the practice of improving your results on those search engines.
