About Me: I am working at the NMC helping Texas Art Museums to make interactive websites through Pachyderm software. I am interested in the ways that technology can engage visitors and provide new insights into the artworks, collections, atrists, and institutions.

I am looking forward to meeting you in person soon! We have enjoyed exploring all the applications of Pachyderm at UNT. I can't wait to see the modules in post-production!

I've been working on a web 2.0 trivia site with a friend of mine. One thing we're working on is partnering with museums to let students play art-related games. It's good for students, and it can help museums expose their collection to a broader audience. What's really neat is that if a question sparks interest, students can learn more about it, leave a comment for other students, or write a question of their own and send it to their friends.

The platform we're building is meant to be pretty flexible, so it can embedded into a museum site, or a museum / educational group can 'syndicate' their questions across the open web (including things like facebook or igoogle).

Anyway, we're just getting started, and I'd love to get in touch to learn a little more about NMC -- maybe we can partner up! Oh, and here are some questions about art to give you an idea of what we're doing :)

I hope we can get in touch. Educational gaming is an area I'm really really interested in.
