Wallpaper of the Week for August 12, EPSICLE SPECTRUM LAMBDA by Senior Designer Colette Boisvert, is a delicious rainbow celebration of history and physics. You see, the modern iced pop was invented in 1905 by 11-year-old Frank Epperson, who dubbed the tasty frozen treat the Epsicle ice pop, which later became the well-known Popsicle. Boisvert’s endless field of polychromatic Epsicles references the peaks and valleys of a sinusodial wave, or wavelength, commonly designated by the Greek letter lambda.  Genius!

Or, as I have been informed, I may have grossly over-interpreted the subject material, and Wallpaper of the Week #39 is, in fact, inspired by the New Kids on the Block single, Popsicle.

Hang tough this weekend. -JB
