Here’s some frivolous-ness for this friday. Ze Frank has this fun little virtual kaleidoscope toy on his website. It’s amazing how simple lines and shapes can make such nice patterns. I just lost about 15 minutes playing with it, now you can too.
Gotta love college humor
Politically Passive Aggressive Lexicographers
This seems too perfect not to be premeditated. Kudos to you mystery lexicographer.

Why I was looking up snake oil is a whole nuther matter.
Another friday, another round of frivolous questions and answers. This week we had talented local editor Ben Cohen answer our silly questions. Ben is really more than just an editor, he shoots, he directs, and he looks great getting his head blown off (see below). He just launched his website recently (designed by our buddy Andrew Wetzel) so check it out.

Frivolous Friday : The Book of Spam
Once again I have forgotten that it is friday but that’s ok because it gives me the opportunity to devote this friday to an odd and mysterious canned meat and the crazy book that was written about it. Written by the strange Dustin Black and his cohort Dan Armstrong it’s full of all sorts of usefull (useless?) information about spam. It has unicorns in it, so really, how can you not like it?
Now for some pictures:
the strange authors and their book.
some pages
more pages
and some more pages
If this wasn’t enough spam for you, there’s plenty more on the book of spam website.
Dustin, who also happens to be a rather good Art Director, will be answering our FF questions today. (Since you know, books don’t really talk but Art Directors are hard to shut up.)
Where do you want to go?
Back to Thailand.
What do you collect?
Old postcards of my Nebraska hometown.
What are you going to do next?
Something that doesn’t involve dead pigs.
If you could only have one meal for the rest of your life, what would it be?
Sushi. Or pancakes. Maybe sushi pancakes.
Describe yourself in one word:
Curious.
Frivolous enough for you?
