Ze Frank on Scrabble
Defender of the Playful Ze Frank, author of, for example, the visually delicious, play-invitingly voice-activated Meditation Flowers, has, since March, been producing, five days a week, video- and podcasts that range from the strange to the deeply strange. He calls it "The Show," and he intends to continue creating the show for exactly one year.Since you're obviously one of the fun few, I thought you'd especially appreciate Ze's reflections on the game of Scrabble. It's a frank (naturally), funny, informed, often silly, and sometimes uncomfortably familiar exploration of his experiences as a member of a Scrabble-playing family. If you find yourself so moved, you can even read The Script.
Listen, Ze is one brave, talented and profoundly playful guy. Brave? Take a look at his presentation at last year's Technology Education Design conference. If you're unfamiliar with his work, or yours, spend the next couple of days exploring his site.
