*Registration Open and Programme Announced*

The Walters Art Museum is seeking to fill the position of Director of Information Technology to provide leadership, management, and support for the use of a broad range of technologies. These include data, voice, imaging, email, network infrastructure and external telecommunication, special software applications and general office productivity software, workstations and peripherals, web presence and features, exhibition-based inter-actives and displays, security systems, audio visual resources, and any other devices and applications which would be reasonably subsumed within this rubric as well as help desk and other support services.

I flew into Houston, Texas yesterday for the 21st Annual Visitor Studies Association conference. This is my first time in Space City, as well as the Lone Star State, for that matter. This morning, I presented a workshop with Jes Koepfler, a fellow Museum Studies grad and my “partner in crime” on the Mischief & Malice: Crime in the Museum online exhibition project (we co-managed this project put together by the University of Toronto’s Master of Museum Studies Class of 2008 using a wiki). Appropriately, we presented Using Wikis for Project Management.

If you attended the ICHIM07 Conference Reception, you may remember seeing a giant, green, ear-shaped, metal sign with a mobile phone number and the words “hear you are” stamped on it in the atrium of the MaRS Collaboration Centre in Toronto. [murmur], a documentary oral history project, created the distinct marker.
