Nice write-up in the New York Times about mobile tours in museums which mentions the work that I did at the San Jose Museum of Art.  Unfortunately the article doesn’t mention the creator (moi) or give the URL (even though it is no longer being updated since I work for Toura now).  Good overview though and a lot of people I respect are referenced in it.

My good friend Koven wrote up this article about pilot projects within museums and how they mostly relate to technology. I’ve been privileged in the past at the San Jose Museum of Art because we’ve had a lot of freedom with technology and exploring ways of using it for interpretation. I can relate to his article though because of others I’ve come in contact with that share their stories. Worth the read for anyone that implements them or struggles with them.

Nice article on how CSS animations (transitions) are going to change how we do things on the web and ultimately crush Flash.
