Jumper. This is a new blog written by Diane Ragsdale as part of the Arts Journal suite. Despite all of the apparent flaws in the system, it still felt like I was part of the narrative. I still consider eBay the best source for series books, and I still have eBays advanced search page set as my homepage on my computer. Diane is still getting her blog legs and the posts are a bit haphazard, but shes one of the most brilliant minds in arts innovation, and I cant wait to see where this blog goes. If you need a good reason to read her blog, sit down for an afternoon with this incredible talk she gave in 2008 at an arts marketing summit and prepare to be blown away. Asking Audiences. For a year now, Peter Linett and his friends at Slover-Linett Strategies have been blogging thoughtfully about connecting with arts audiences in new ways. If you are interested in starting a blog, whether its for your own personal use and something fun to do or if you want to blog as a way to earn money from home, all you have to do is follow a few simple instructions. The best way to do that is to ignore him and move on with your life. But Im not sure I agree, or that that model is best for everyone. I also learned that the best money in museums for someone whos starting out is in art modeling. I applied to work for This American Life (rejected) and in the meantime fell in love with someone who lived in Washington D.C. What if someone saw her? At the tiny science center, I got to do everything from leading programs to building exhibits to managing volunteers to cleaning snot off of plexiglass. My skill set is definitely located firmly in the arts, but I love visiting museums about science and technology or watching documentaries about things like space exploration. Thinking about Exhibits. A new blog from an experienced developer, Ed Rodley at the Boston Museum of Science. Next Tuesday will feature an interview with Sarah Schultz, a museum staffer at one of the institutions Light profiled in the book (the Walker Art Center). There is technical level allowing you to install your blog but there is a more advanced level as well of technical knowledge that will enable you to maximize and utilize your blog platform to your satisfaction. There have only been a few posts thus far, but his humorous writing style, knowledge of the craft, and far-reaching influences will appeal to anyone interested in the exhibit development process. If you have been following my blog postings, you are probably aware that I have an obsession with equity risk premiums (ERP), and have done an annual survey paper on the topic every year since 2008 (with the 2013 update here). Clearly, the Fed hasnt been following a Taylor rule as this would have turned the US into low-inflation low-nominal-interest-rate Japan long ago. If so, why? (If you want my opinion, here it is: I have no idea. And if you dont have my email address, how the heck did you get here? Less Depth. Just-in-Time inventory used to be how we had less depth in the past, but we now have restrictions on this due to increased freight costs. Acetate is almost impossible to photograph well, and hard as I tried I couldnt capture the depth that you get with the texture and painting. But its worth it for the opportunity to get inside the brain of a phenomenally creative person. If animations start to look weird, if responses come out as canned or if interaction possibilities are too limited the brain gets lazy and optimization kicks i...
