A MuseumMobile Logo
I was asked for a MuseumMobile logo for the upcoming smARTcamp, so I tweeted a request for ideas and proposals to design one. Here’s what I got from a few tweeps; what do you think?

Is quality *only* in the eye of the beholder?
With flight and hotel room in Michigan finally booked, my thoughts turn to the upcoming unconference sessions at THATCamp Great Lakes, and the opportunity to work with the inspiring campers there on some questions that have been driving my recent research.
I am especially interested right now in questions like “What is a Museum? Who is [...]
