WAIT did I never tell tumblr about the haunted space waterpark hotel

[dragon-in-a-fez]

in January 2018, I spent a couple of days in the town of Hutchinson, Kansas for work. I rolled into town and stopped at what appeared, from the outside, to be a normal motel just off the highway.

it was not.

[dragon-in-a-fez]

I should add that I did not see a single other guest the entire time I was there, which intensified the whole vibe.

alright I've got to do some quick math to explain attitudes towards AI to my boss.

we're looking to create an AI policy, and when we were talking about this, my boss (older millennial) was genuinely shocked to hear that younger people do not (seem) to view AI positively (a la the recent commencement speakers being booed)

please rb for larger sample size!

This got more traction than I imagined and has motivated me to make a more thorough survey where I can actually parse the data.

No email is necessary to input to complete the survey. Please also consider sharing this off tumblr with people in your life to get a broader sample, especially people who love history and love museums!

General Sentiment Surrounding AI Usage in Museums and Archives

gannets diving for fish. I’m hoping the colours won’t be streaky, it’s just so hard to tell at this stage 😒

[claypigeonpottery]

sold

the streaks follow the water flow 🥹 I am so pleased with the colour and the way the water slightly obscures the fish and gannets.

I just walked past a house that had this flag flying in the yard:

and I was like, oh, what pride flag is that? like the girl in the meme comic. anyway yeah turns out it's the flag of the international communist volunteer brigade that fought in the Spanish civil war

[dragon-in-a-fez]

same house is now flying the Starry Plough, a flag used by a socialist Irish republican group called the Irish Citizen Army starting in 1914.

I'm enthralled

‘Explore More Store' at the Pacific Science Center - Seattle, WA (date unknown, likely early-mid 1990s)

Great example of the 90's theming craze in interior design, along with the Utopian Scholastic style, and popularity of 'edutainment'

Designed by Smash Design

"Remodeling this 1,700-square-foot gift and educational resource store was challenging due to its mezzanine level location. The new store was approached as an extension of the center's exhibits with each zone representing a different subject. Standing guard at the center of the store is a "Look-Out Tower" cashwrap overlooking a 30-foot-long shelved wall. A reproduction of a pre-Aztec temple encloses an office while remaining the store's dominant figure."

Scanned from the book, Great Store Design 2 (1996)
