    thanks to Doug for passing this along; as he notes, there are implications for notions surroudning 'tech skills' w/i AAD, as well as some key questions about the near- and distant- future with regards to online presenation/dissemination of info & knowledge (in arts/culture sector specifically, but also in general)
