Despite some misgivings concerning the price, I took the leap and bought an iphone last month. I haven’t been disappointed.

Check out Google’s latest endeavor, Google Art Project, a high res adaptation of their street-view technology. Now you can tour some of the worlds most famous art museums and study the great works of art in high resolution from your home computer. Right now I’m exploring some of Van Gough’s brushwork. What a great educational tool!
