online collection

My interest (for obvious reasons) is caught by online or digital collections curated by… well, by all sorts of people. I’m especially interested by public institutions like libraries, national galleries, etc using online galleries as a way of reaching the wider public. I’m also interested in the opposite – collections which work better in the face to face (I’m thinking of the national archives and their collections in remote indigenous communities…fuck, regional centres. God forbid they actually get action out to _really_ remote communities. Who aren’t white.).
This is another one I’ve just found: http://www.printsandprintmaking.gov.au/, which is the national gallery’s prints and printmaking… collection? I guess you’d call it that.

B210k: wk1, run3

distance: 6.53 km, time: 00:53 08:06, calories: 688, effort: 5/5
The running is still hard, but not as hard as Wednesday. Had seriously tight calves/hamms though, so I had to spend my first two 1min walking intervals stretching. Dunno if I’ll be able to hack the jump to week 2’s longer intervals. We’ll see.
The stupid B210k app is SCREWED and restarted my third run again. So I ended up running further than planned (by about 5minutes) in that section again.

c25k: wk9, run3

distance: 4.51 km, time: 00:40, pace: 08:52, calories: 519, effort: 4/5
The streets were really empty and it was strange running without an audience.
I feel really good, and I even managed to pick up my speed a bit in the last few minutes to get back to my starting place. Now I need to work on getting my time down – I do just under 1k walking to cool up and down, so I really need to get my running speed up to get to 5k in 30minutes.
