This is my (@adzebill) last week at the WRM; I’m off to be a Wikipedian. It’s been a pleasure tweeting from this account (which still has the shortest handle of any NZ museum). All the best to my colleagues and to whoever takes over the tweeting. — Mike x.com/myleejoseph/st…
It’s important to use archival tape when reassembling historic documents, as they’ll surely be on display in the National Archives in a century so people can marvel at our benighted times. politico.com/story/2018/06/…
Hot tip from @Paulrbowers : make it real, real early, and avoid ‘faffing about in meeting rooms with Word documents’. Visualise and prototype and test ASAP—each time you do this, you’ll discover how to make your thing a little bit better. YES #MGAConf2018

#MGAConf2018 Formative evaluation doesn't need to expensive - it can be text on a sheet of A3 paper, taking it to your cafe and buying some visitors coffee. And having the humility to hear how much your words suck
Saying goodbye (for now!) to our newly-translocated #hihi! These guys are so fortunate to be looked after by the most caring and competent teams at #Rotokare and #BushyPark. Wishing them all a safe and happy winter!
1 I've become friends with an elderly woman who gets her morning coffee in the same Glen Eden cafe as me. I gave Janet a copy of Ghost South Road last week; this morning she came over to my table, excited by the passages about swaggers, those nomads of NZ's early 20th C roads.
“Museums need to stop forcing people down a path of engagement that they assume people will follow, and start reacting to what people actually do in their spaces” good stuff in this study x.com/wrdodger/statu…
