Dear Meredith:
Just because it's the end of the week, it doesn't mean you can slack off! Try this little game that tests your ability to eyeball angles and distances.

Visualizing money!
Dear Jennifer.
We both love money. We know it. And we both know how hard a time I have understanding real money and not digitized money that is tracked by my pretty credit card. So - to make it easier for those of us who can't picture how much a trillion dollars (a figure so hotly debated these days) looks like, I direct your attention to this webpage.
Bear in mind - this is what ONE MILLION DOLLARS looks like:
Just wait until you see ONE TRILLION.

Lesson learned: Never put it in writing.
Dear Meredith:
Maybe it's better that I (we) went to an all-girl's school. Because otherwise, can you imagine if we had boys in our classes, and we wrote them love letters, and then they later SCANNED THEM AND PUT THEM ONLINE? The horrors!
I Love You Forever and Always

This is the only cat I like.
Dear Meredith:
I don't know why, but Get Fuzzy is one of my favorite comic strips ever. Maybe it's because the cat is so snarklily mean. Way better than that milquetoast Garfield.
Get (more) Fuzzy
Star Wars funkified
Dear Jennifer,
Need some art combined with pop culture combined with conjecture? These two Youtube videos explore what the STAR WARS opening credits would look like if Saul Bass had done them.
You may recall Saul Bass as being the dude who made posters like this:
Well, some cool person on the internet did a "what if?" with STAR WARS and Saul Bass. If Saul Bass had done the opening titles of STAR WARS, they would have (maybe) looked like this:
Even awesomer is how an even cooler person on the internet did a mockup of how the credits would have looked on the REDUX of STAR WARS. Check out the change to Harrison Ford's introduction, and the final, explosively amazing, image. Well pontificated.

Think pink!
Dear Meredith:
The most lovely little home office I ever saw featured a pink iMac, and the words "Think Pink!" stenciled on the walls. In pink, of course. I am still envious of that home office (and the rest of the house as well, since it was located in the only gated community in Paris, and had an honest-to-God turret). But I digress. Maybe this little video clip, from one of my favorite movies, Funny Face, will help get you through the day.

XKCD for thee!
Dear Jennifer,
What you need in your life is the joy that can only be brought by a webcomic that is a combination of "Romance, Sarcasm, Math and Language."
Enjoy

Folding your way to fun.
Dear Meredith:
Oh, it is still Monday? To help you pass this tedious day, perhaps a little bit of origami will help get your creative juices flowing. Or, at the very least, you'll have something physical to show for all of your procrastination.
