The Secrets of Hosea Freeman, a multimedia CD-ROM mystery produced by Dennis Sullivan for the National Audubon Society At the start of The Secrets of Hosea Freeman you have just moved into an old house in New Bedford, Massachusetts.  On your first night there Hosea Freeman, an old whaling captain who built the house 150 years ago, appears to you in your bedroom mirror and asks you a riddle.  Searching around your house the next day you find the answer. Over the course of many late night visits Captain Freeman asks you a series of questions that ultimately help you explain the underlying mystery of why he stopped whaling at the height of his career.  An old sailor, a marine biologist, and the local museum provide a wealth of clues and information about whales and whaling.  Along the way you discover treasures from the past hidden in secret compartments around the house.

A "flying machine" created for the Vermont Institute of Natural Science at their  Nature Center in Quechee, Vermont Fly like a bird! Because of their mass and density most people would need a 30-foot wingspan to get off the ground, but with most of your weight counterbalanced by a system of pulleys and counterweights you can take flight at VINS. Just climb into the hang gliding harness, put on some wings, let the attendant adjust the counterbalance to match your weight, turn on the fans, and away you go.  By moving your wings you can control your height and orientation as you rise and dip into the breeze from the fans, just like a bird riding the wind.

Interactive software and exhibits for a cultural history exhibit about the logging and paper making industries Use a replica of the giant calipers loggers used to determine how many board feet of lumber you can get from a log.  What is a board foot?  That's explained here, too. The past comes to life for visitors to the Northern Forest Heritage Park in Berlin, New Hampshire.  Learn the names and uses of old tools.  Plan a diet of over 7000 calories for loggers to eat while felling trees in the winter and preparing for the spring log drive down the river.  Discover the products invented at the first big industrial research lab in the country.  Feel wood chips and pulp while viewing photos and diagrams of the paper making process.  It all comes together with a combination of historic artifacts, interactive experiences, and computer software.

An internet-based exploration of the Coriolis Effect What causes wind to spiral around a low pressure area?  It's the Coriolis Effect. How is playing catch on a merry-go-round related to why huricanes spin?  Try these web-based activities and experiments you can do at home to learn why the spinning earth causes winds to curve and cannonballs to miss their targets. These activities are part of the weather arcade at the web site of the Mount Washington Observatory.  Note: this integrated package requires the Shockwave plug-in and may take several minutes to download.

A cultural history exhibit produced by Dennis Sullivan and Dave Thurlow for the Appalachian Mountain Club at their Crawford Notch Depot Visitor Information Center “You have to read this one!” one visitor says to a complete stranger. Visitors to the Crawford Notch Depot find themselves in an old railroad station populated by life-size two-dimensional cutouts of past residents of the area around the depot.  Brief paragraphs on each person relate nuggets from their life stories that capture a visitor’s imagination.  Background text and photos on the walls fill out the story.  More photos and in depth information can be found in two touch-screen kiosks that explore the subject through a variety of games.
