The Monday Catch-Up

- The Smithsonian Latino Museum opens and Dresden Museum expands… In Second Life.
- This surprises me since I thought SL was pretty much dead because it was always empty and full of 3D billboards. The quote of “100 million a month” is clearly an over exaggeration.
- Paul Orselli thinks about Slack Spaces in America.
- Also links to this article about $100, artists, architects and urban renewal.
- Martin Weller, The Ed Techie, has two very interesting posts. “Should universities break copyright law” and the follow-up “Universities as copyright warriors“.
- Find and Replace almost every mention of “university” with “museum” and it’s still a poignant pair of articles. I would even go on to say museums are probably in an even better place to protect creativity.
- New Blog: Piotr Adamczyk’s Museum Pipes. “A blog to augment a suite of Yahoo Pipes that work with Museum website and public collection information.”
- I have no idea how it works, what Yahoo Pipes do exactly, but I know some of you will find it very interesting and it’s fascinating to look at.
