The Geek Speak Column

Staff from Zero One Design publish a column on museums and technologies in the British Columbia Museums Association magazine, the Roundup and the Alberta Museums Association newsletter INFOrm. Each publication, we tackle a new topic designed to keep cultural institutions in the know on the latest technologies. We review hardware and software, make the business and technology of web pages a little clearer and make the internet a more interesting place for museums to roam.
