Armadillo Systems are developing a suite of products to allow libraries, archives and museums to take control of their collections and build their own kiosks and websites providing access and interpretation to their collections. We recognise that building a kiosk application or a microsite for every exhibition or event is a costly exercise, often for only a limited return. We are developing products that empower the institution to build their own, with little or no technical knowledge. Is a way for insti...

A blog about where emerging technologies meet access and interpretation for libraries and museums. Tuesday, 29 January 2013. Impoverished by the Marketing Dollar. A couple of studies have highlighted this to me recently. The Kindle Fire has 33% of the Android tablet market according to Localytics. The other saddening statistic. Maybe this is the way markets work - innovators prove to be one-hit wonders or get bought out, the big boys move in and a suddenly it's (big) business as usual. But as a devel...

Turning the Pages: Rochester Revisited
http://digitalcultureonline.blogspot.com/2013/10/rochester-revisited.html
A blog about where emerging technologies meet access and interpretation for libraries and museums. Thursday, 17 October 2013. Back to Rochester to start work on the Textus Roffensis, one of the most significant documents in England along with Magna Carta, Domesday and one or two others. To find out why, google it, but it's basically the foundation of our current legal system and includes transcriptions of laws from as early as the 6th century, the document itself being 500 years older. Miraculously it ha...

A blog about where emerging technologies meet access and interpretation for libraries and museums. Tuesday, 4 February 2014. The Apple Mac Turns 30. I used MacWrite and MacPaint to basically play for ten glorious days until it was taken away again, and I was plunged back into the world of words and numbers. So to mark the shift and the progression, here's a list of the Macs I've had since then. Mac Pro Dual Core Xeon. Macbook Core 2 Duo. Macbook Pro Core 2 Duo. MacBook Pro Core i5. The Apple Mac Turns 30.

A blog about where emerging technologies meet access and interpretation for libraries and museums. Wednesday, 4 December 2013. My knowledge of bio-archeology is pretty much limited to watching Tony Robinson peer at skeletons on Time Team in the company of those wise in the ways of interpreting bones. Kind of like reading the runes, but with added science. So the analysis of the page itself propels us to a point where we can find out what animals were used, what time of year they might have been killed an...

A blog about where emerging technologies meet access and interpretation for libraries and museums. Wednesday, 27 November 2013. To Newcastle University to discuss presenting some great local material. Getting out of the train from London, the temperature is definitely several degrees colder. This is "The North" as the signs on the M1 so bluntly put it. Locals might insist they are from the North East, which is quite a different thing. The quay is a little cut off from the city centre, and on the cold day...

A blog about where emerging technologies meet access and interpretation for libraries and museums. Monday, 13 May 2013. The middle if nowhere depends, of course, on where you start from. Early maps (like the Mappa Mundi) had Jerusalem at the centre of the map. Having built an empire we decided that England should be at the centre of our maps. But that's not quite true. But great buildings of that time remain, and Oxburgh Hall is one, now in the care of the National Trust. I was there to look at a selecti...
