This site can take as little or as much of your time as you are willing to give to image understand time.  For the quick tour, click on the links on the right for short videos, but there are many links that dive into far more detail after each animation is completed.   http://www.phys.unsw.edu.au/einsteinlight/

Favorite Words

Posted by presson on December 5, 2007

Fun site with folk’s favorite English words. http://www.myfavoriteword.com/

here’s one: Frivolous.

The word has a lovely sense of motion as you say it — picking up speed towards the end as if it hadn’t the time to stick around.

I know this word often has a negative connotation as light-minded or something to be disregarded, but to me it means all of the little things/experiences in life that stay as little memories to be savored. I won’t remember the sales figures from this month by the end of the week – but I will remember the time we diverted to go see the world’s largest ball of twine just to take a funny photo, or the time we all took a long lunch to go shopping for vintage handbags.

Some of the best family or couple times are full of the frivolous — and I pity the person who hasn’t enough of this commodity in their lives!
