An archetypal mobile superuser. It starts very, very early.
I thought I was beginning to understand this job just a little bit. We talk to curators and educators about art, listen to the public, and generally get excited about things and try to pull it all together in digital form. We’ve been doing Web and new media for 10 years now, and I was beginning to feel like I was getting the hang of it.
Ha! Wishful thinking, Dilbert!
The cause of my vexation is the 10th annual Museums and the Web conference in Albuquerque, New Mexico. I waltz in here with my freshy dry-cleaned coat and tie to teach a workshop about managing large projects and give a paper on data strategy. And, oh yeah, listen to the other papers and talk to people about what’s new and cool. But gotta get back to the office. We’re reopening in 90 days. Chiao, baby!
And then, wake-up call. Literally, ring-ring, “hello.” It’s a paper about teenagers and mobile phones given by Denise Bressler from the Liberty Science Center in Jersy City, NJ.
