Giraffes? Giraffes!

Dave Eggers and his brother Toph co-edited Giraffes? Giraffes!, the first in a series of nonsensical childrens' reference books. With sound scientific evidence, the authors show that giraffes thrive in Provo, Utah (because it's the hippest corner of the universe), and includes centerfolds of the best-looking giraffes, selected by a panel of muskrats. Note the picture of the solar system on the cover, indicating serious science facts will be found within.

About
Moira Burke

Psst! This is the blog of Moira Burke, a Ph.D. student in the HCI Institute at Carnegie Mellon University.

Rife with derivative pop culture blather, this site occasionally features thoughts on social psychology, usability, aesthetics, and the general meanderings of someone figuring out the meaning of life. Won't you help me find it?
