Quentin's Weeknotes 3/21/21-3/27/21

This Week:

• I taught the basics of object photography, as well as the history of collections management.
• I worked on finalizing a long collections project that I hope I can talk about soon!
• I finished reading “Star Wars: The Weapon of a Jedi” with my 7 yo. It’s a fun book that takes place between episodes 4 and 5 of the movies, and both I and my kid enjoyed it a lot.
• I also finished reading John Gardner’s “The Art of Fiction: Notes on the Craft for Young Writers” a dense and detailed book that examines the craft of fiction writing. I want to take notes on its many rich insights, in the 26th and 27th hours of my day.
• My beloved kindle keyboard, which I got almost 10 years ago, finally gave up the ghost. To replace it, I bought a Kobo Clara HD, which seems to have most of the same specs as a Kindle Paper white, and comes with the added bonus of not supporting a company that forces its workers to hoard their pee.
• More mystery–I did some planning for an upcoming Yager Museum campus event. Stay tuned!
