Getting ready for Back to School

It's called procrastinating, but I'm getting ready to go back to school by making loooong trips to Staples to pick out pens, paper, binder and highlighters. I stopped by the MoMA design store on my way home to pick up a birthday present for my lovely BF's lovely mum and found this. Totally getting one for the new school semester for me too!

Ask A Curator Day on Twitter, 9/1

Two interesting posts from Elinora Schinella and Danny Birchall on the recent Ask A Curator event on Twitter. I both answered questions (for the curatorial organization I work for) and asked them (and I agree with Danny that the answers were often a let down). Can Twitter actually do anything other than satisfy rampant voyeurism, lust for advertising (both self and other products) and speed up the decline of our attention spans? Maybe that's a little harsh (I totally use Twitter) but AAC Day didn't make me feel closer to the thoughts of other curators. It did, at least, start a conversation with a species often shy of the general public.....
