The Curators

While not specifically mentioned in this Chicago Tribune article, this here Grocery List Collection is featured in the video linked at the end of the article.

The economic downturn has taken its toll on traditional museums with cutbacks and closings, but one corner of the collecting world is flourishing.

Virtual museums, just a few years ago seen as a curiosity, are gaining legitimacy as collectors open online galleries to share their passions.

Cereal box covers. Matchbook designs. Grocery lists. Record album covers. Motel signs. Prison escape tools. Toothpaste. Stewardess uniforms.

Whatever the obsession, the Internet has provided a limitless digital curio cabinet for sophisticated and novice collectors alike…

The Museum of Online Museums, a Web site created by Chicago design firm Coudal Partners, does its best to track online museums and serve as a gateway. The firm has collected about 1,200 links and puts up about 150 to 200 links at a time on its Web site, rotating the galleries quarterly. The firm has produced a video about online museums called “The Curators” due out this spring.

Last summer I was interviewed by Coudal Partners for that upcoming Museum of Online Museums documentary. Check out this preview clip:

Awesome! I love how the YouTube video ID starts with “aSS.” Perfect.

Oh, and here’s a bonus grocery joke.

And this highly refined individual with impeccable taste is looking for a special someone.

That is all.

Bill — Fri, 28 Aug 2009 21:31:34 +0000

Big thanks to alert reader Stacey who sent along this mention of our Ultimatest Grocery List in a recent issue of Woman’s Day magazine.

Something about standing in the cereal aisle makes me think I’m out of it — even though I have six boxes in the pantry. No more! The Ultimatest Grocery Lists, a free one-page shopping checklist, is organized by aisle so you can speed through the store. Print it out at www.grocerylists.org/ultimatest.

You don’t have to take their word for it, or even mine. Try it for yourself. Our free downloadable PDF is the most compact yet comprehensive grocery list available.

The Wall Street Journal: Want to Save? Put It on the List

The Ultimatest Grocery List, a downloadable PDF shopping list that I made for the book and have available at grocerylists.org, made it into the sidebar on this Wall Street Journal story about the economy and making lists:

You know times are hard when the shopping list makes a comeback.

As the recession takes hold, consumers who used to shop impulsively are seeking ways to rein in their spending, and many are finding that sticking to a list can help them navigate through stores and limit their purchases.

Yes, I meant to post this a while ago.
