It's amazing to consider how much we have learned this semester. Creating a website felt like a big deal, but looking back, it was only the beginning. We learned UNIX commands, surveyed website usability, and built a database. I had the good fortune to work with a group of people whose talents complemented each other beautifully. I was able to do a lot of the technical work, which Sandy, Alyssa, and Kristin turned into wonderful presentations. Kristin created an instructional video that I'm still marveling over.
Although I will probably not use hand tagging or UNIX a great deal in my immediate future, I can approach a variety of technologies safe in the knowledge that I can handle whatever is thrown my way.

The Huntington Library, Art Galleries, and Gardens are incredibly photogenic, as visitors have known for decades. Just yesterday, the television show NCIS was filming in part of the library. As I was walking back in, a coworker and I stopped to talk to a friend and we ended up chatting with Mark Harmon. He was delightful, and he complimented my shoes.
Back in 1938, a group of costumed actors visited the Huntington residence. They wore 18th century costumes, which compliment the Georgian art and French Regency furniture. For those interested in classic Hollywood, Victor Mature is the man on the far left.
