Also, for my museum-loving readers, you should know that BoingBoing is doing a series titled My Favourite Museum Exhibit, which sounds like the sort of thing you might like.

Need a place to crash for a month? Like museums? Then apply to live at Chicago’s Museum of Science and Industry for a month. Oh, you get paid, too. On the downside, you’ll be expected to write. Scary.
