CMA just opened its doors on the first phase of the ten year, $350 million dollar renovation project that should be completed by 2012. I've only looked at the virtual tour so far, follow link here, but hope to see it in the flesh this week or next.

Print out your own guide to the Cleveland Museum of Art's renovated 1916 building and take an interactive tour at Cleveland.com/cma/reopen. The virtual tour is really worth the effort.

I started watching this because he reminded me of Michael Caine, but continued listening because of his sense of humor and wonderful insight on creativity.

Vimeo - another video sharing place

Joss Whedon and friends, including Felicity Day of The Guild fame, will be producing a three episode web series that will first be streamed for free for one week only, then as a low cost download, and eventually released for sale as a CD with extras. First episode will be released July 15th!

I'm not sure whether all three episodes will be posted on Vimeo, but this trailer is. Take a look, have fun.
