Skull-A-Day Press: Mental_Floss Blog
"The shape of the flowchart can be the joke in itself. At Skull A Day, there is a new picture of a skull posted every day. The webmaster created a flowchart that detailed the process of deciding how to create or select the skulls. Click the link, then click on the image for the larger, readable version. The chart itself is in the shape of a skull, so there’s one for another day!"

Skull-A-Day Press: STEP Magazine
"One day in June of 2007, purely on a whim, Scalin decided to embark on another project- a simple orange paper skull - and his blog Skull-A-Day was launched. 'I never could've imagined how popular it would get so quickly, so the incentive to continue and push myself creatively has grown as well,' says Scalin, who also teaches a class at Virginia Commonwealth University named, appropriately, Design Rebels."
