One of the many reasons I love museums, and working in museums, is the power of inspiration museums have.
Why Museums? (Day 30 of Museum 30 Challenge)
Dream Job (Day 26 of Museum 30 Challenge)
I have no idea what my dream job looks like let alone what I want to be doing in 6 months. I’m just going to keep working on growing as a person and learning new things for my career. Eventually all things will fall into place.

Nature (Day 24 of Museum 30 Challenge)

Favorite Object (Day 12 of Museum 30 Challenge)
One of my favorite things to talk about is XEROX PARC and the Alto Computer. This research center was founded in 1970 in Palo Alto, CA. Have you ever used a laser printer, Ethernet, icons (on computer),pop up menus, overlapping windows? If so, you can thank PARC.
Journey to Work (Day 11 of Museum 30 Challenge)
My journey to work is filled with traffic and dreaming of self driving cars.
Black & White (Day 2: Museum 30 Challenge)
