My friend Evan Carroll is working on an interesting project called The Digital Beyond. This project seeks to explore what happens to our online data after we die. We spend a lot of time creating gigabytes worth of data on all of our favorite social networks. What happens to that data when we pass on? I’ll be watching this project to see what they come up with. Here’s a good introductory video:

Dinosaur Trail Preview

Peek-A-Boo!

The family and I visited the Museum of Life and Science in Durham today to participate in their Dinosaur Trail Preview. The trail officially opens up on July 25th, but is now open for members and special guests.

A few days ago the museum posted an invitation on their Twitter feed for all bloggers and tweeple to come by for a special sneak peek. For a few hours this afternoon people were walking around the trail snapping photos and updating their twitter feeds, facebook pages and flickr accounts. It was a lot of fun seeing some familiar names and placing them with faces. My children had a blast. Some parts of the trail were still under construction but the majority of the big exhibits were ready. We can’t wait to come back again when the trail is completely open!

Here are some of the pictures we took during the trip:
