Leading off our Monday morning is a description of MoMA’s digital art vault. It is interesting to see how technology is used outside of our core industry. Variance Explained talks about the journey programmers must take in writing a million lines of bad code. The Chromium blog gives us an update on Google’s experimental protocol QUIC.

As always, enjoy today’s items, and please participate in the discussions on these sites.
