Brooklyn Museum Blogs
These visitor blogs seem like an effective way to invite museum guests to be part of the voice of the institution without having them actually speak for the museum itself.

Either way, the posts they have chosen to include have caused me to put the Brooklyn Museum on my list for my next trip to New York.

The Principal's Office Chronicles (1)
Today's contest was easily won when I received a phone call from a parent of a student who does not even attend my school asking me to check the lost and found for her daughter's Little Mermaid glitter wand. I am sympathetic to the sadness derived from lost childhood treasures, but the daughter apparently lost the wand during a school festival last October. October! Did I check the lost and found for her? Oh, yes I did. The wand, as of yet, has not been recovered.
