While researching new and upcoming exhibitions for my museum post yesterday, I became frustrated, clicking through the various museums' websites to find the latest and greatest exhibitions. "Isn't there a blog for this?" I asked myself. The closest I found was Curator's Choice, which (in my humble opion) was difficult to navigate and poorly designed. Should I create my own? It'll certainly give me an excuse to visit more museums. However, I'm not sure if my schedule could handle it, or if there will be an interest at all. Just something to think about during my 4-day weekend. Yes, FOUR. My company decided to give us all an extra vacation day tomorrow, in anticipation of Monday's Labor Day. Yay! On to the links!

Wanted: Museum Buddy

Aug 27. 2008

As much as I hate doing tourist activities, one of my favorite things to do when in a new city is to check out its museums. I chose to attend Johns Hopkins for its Art History program (most people are not aware that JHU has a great art history program - top 5 in the country - but unfortunately I decided to pursue another course of study). I still consider my 3 month summer internship at the Metropolitan Museum of Art one of the best experiences of my life. Needless to say, I love museums. I love the hushed atmosphere, the beautiful architecture that usually accompanies them, and immersing myself in the works of geniuses (including nature) of the past, present, and future. I'm fine perusing the hallways of museums...

Hello Lover!

Aug 27. 2008

The HTC S740 was announced today. HELLO GORGEOUS! I'm such a sucker for sleek, minimalist designs. The specs, according to BGR: 116.3 x 43.4 x 16.3 mm GSM/GPRS/EDGE: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz WCDMA/HSDPA: 900/2100 MHz (we’d guess there is a 850/1900MHz UMTS/HSDPA version in the works, supports HSDPA 3.6Mbps and HSDPA 7.2Mbps) 2.4″ QVGA screen 3.2 megapixel camera Qualcomm® MSM7225, 528 MHz 256MB flash ROM, 256MB RAM microSD slot 140g 1000mAh battery Wi-Fi b,g aGPS Bluetooth 2.0 FM radio Pretty sweet, if I do say so myself. The only downside is that it runs on Windows Mobile 6.1 which isn't my favorite mobile OS. However, the design and specs more than make up for it. The HTC S740 is slated to be released in Europe next month. Damn you, North America, for having some of the worst selection...
