The Exploratorium reopened on Pier 15 on the Embarcadero on April 17th. It's an incredible location and the museum looks great. I am so excited and hope that anyone who has the opportunity will visit the museum in its new location. To commemorate the re-opening of the Exploratorium, a new bell was commissioned. It was introduced at the opening festivities and rung for the first time. It's a large bronze bell with a beautiful, gentle sound (unlike the cast iron bells that have been and will continue to announce closing time).
Julie Caine of KALW interviewed me and wrote a nice piece about the history of the bells at the Exploratorium. It is included in the Audiograph Sound of the Week invitation. Have a look and a listen.

FYI- One of those old noisy bells is the one I delivered at the end of this journey in 2006.
Enjoy!

Today, I went to the beach with my kids. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said "You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear." She placed the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is completely off topic but I had to tell someone!
