Have a project I would like to show to campers – to see if it brings any ideas to the surface…a collection of mounted string figures that I am ‘researching’…all to be revealed on the day…

Museums are into objects, and objects are embedded with meaning. Thus, if Speedos symbolise and therefore bestow super powers of speech – by extension – then I’m happy to get up for 3 minutes waving a Thong and a Jandal and distract with some news about the Museum Exchange project about to kick off.

Just functionally, a school bell, dinger, or applause is helpful at 150 seconds. (And has sometimes been continuously necessary after 200 seconds in other 3 minute situations).

Not a project per se – just a quick awareness raising of what services and tools are now available for archiving live web content – important if you’re using web content as raw data for research and need to know you can always reproduce it faithfully ascertaining its authenticity and integrity
