This entertaining site is ranked among the 2005 Top 50 coolest entertainment websites by Time.com. Why? Because online performer, humorist and freelance designer Frank found that with a digital camera – his birthday gift – and Internet access, the possibilities are infinite. Possibilities to play around and goof off. If you’ve time on your hands at the office, during a dull holiday, or at home while your bitter half cleans the floor; well, Frank’s site offers 101 ways to kill time. Divided into eight sections, zefrank.com has some hilarious educational videos (try the cult favorite: “Dance Properly”), idiotic interactive toys (draw your mother a face), photo contests on any given subject (“Participate”) and games (check out the Buddhist one). All this on a wonderfully designed, interactive, multimedia (video, music, flash, etc.) wacky website. Oh, Frank posts his peculiar art and poetry, too. Totally useless, and thus indispensable.
