I fail

So, I didn't make it to any museums while on vacation. We spent the week sick, which was less than fun, but also resting, which was fun.

2 more weeks until the end of the semester, then AAM, then exhibits closing, then Tut. Busy times.

On the fun side, I get to attend parts of Museums and the Web this weekend, thanks to an unused registration! So, yay! And, I'll be touring Nina Simon (www.museumtwo.com) and Kevin Von Appen (Ontario Science Centre) around here on Sunday. I always love getting to share my museum with other professionals. So, yay!

Also, have been brewing a new website/bloggy thing with a colleague. We keep having conversations that go like this:

Me: "It would be so cool if we could do what we wanted."
Her: "Yeah, we should start a museum."
Me: "What would it be? The museum of cool?"
Her: "No, the museum of AWESOME, only it would be OSOM - because that is how awesome it is!" (PS, this goes back to a super great crayon drawing a friend's kid did)

So, what would be in a museum of Awesome? I figure that there are enough awesome things in museums around the country to fill a museum and then some. So, I'm collecting experiences, for a virtual museum of OSOM. If you have some, send em my way!

Geez, I've been wracking my brain over this one. Problem is, what one person thinks is awesome isn't necessarily what another person thinks is awesome. I think a combination of Chicago's Museum of Science and Industry combined with the Indianapolis Children's Museum would be just about the coolest museum on the planet -- yet a combination of the Louvre and the Hermitage would be equally cool, but in an entirely different way.
