==Personal life==
Frank was born to German-American parents and raised in a suburb of [[Albany, New York]]. He graduated from [[Brown University]] in 1995 where he studied [[neuroscience]].<ref name = "Warren St. John" /> Information given in ''[[the show with zefrank|the show]]'' indicates that he was educated at a [[Montessori]] school and also has a sister.

Beginning at Brown, Frank played guitar and sang lead vocals for a funk/jam band called [[Dowdy Smack]] until its dissolution in 1998.

==Career==
In 2001, Frank created an [http://www.zefrank.com/invite/swfs/index2.html online birthday invitation] and sent it to seventeen of his closest friends. Forwarded wildly, the invitation soon generated millions of hits and over 100 gigabytes of daily web traffic to Frank's personal Web site.<ref>{{cite news | last = Kukec | first = Anna Marie | title = Web designer's email invite forwarded millions of times | publisher = [[Daily Herald (Arlington Heights, Illinois newspaper)|Daily Herald]] | date = [[April 23]], [[2001]]}}</ref> The site grew to include interactive group projects, short films, animations, and video games, many [[Macromedia Flash|Flash]]-based, including children's educational videos featuring handy tips such as "Don't vacuum your face".

Frank won a 2002 [[Webby Awards|Webby Award]] for Best Personal Website. In 2005, Frank was featured in Time Magazine's "50 Coolest Websites".<ref>{{ cite web | last = Murray Buechner | first = Marryanne | title = 50 Coolest Websites 2005 | publisher = [[Time (magazine)|Time]] | date = [[June 20]], [[2005]] | url = http://www.time.com/time/business/article/0,8599,1073316,00.html | accessdate = 2006-12-20 }}</ref> Frank debuted onstage at the [[Gel conference]] in 2003, and later spoke at the [[TED (conference)|TED Conference]] in 2004 and 2005.<ref>[http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=1895918195820925057&hl=en Ze Frank's speech] at the [[TED (conference)|TED Conference]] (2004) Monterey, California (video)</ref>

On [[March 17]], [[2006]], Frank launched a daily video blog known simply as ''[[the show with zefrank]]''. Each tightly edited three-to-five-minute episode combined ''[[The Daily Show with Jon Stewart|Daily Show]]''-style commentary on world events with songs, observations, and occasional games or challenges for his viewers to participate in. ''the show'' quickly became the most popular portion of his site and helped to increase Frank's visibility in the [[blogosphere]] while also attracting the interest of those in the "old media" of film and television. Frank signed with the [[United Talent Agency]] of Beverly Hills, California for representation. The show ended on [[March 17]], [[2007]], exactly one year after its start.

Frank has served as an [[Professor#Other_designations|adjunct professor]] at [[Tisch School of the Arts#Interactive Telecommunications Program|ITP]]/[[New York University|NYU]], [[Parsons School of Design]], and [[SUNY Purchase]].

A '''database engine''' is the underlying component that a [[Database Management System]] (DBMS) uses to create, retrieve, update and delete ([[CRUD (acronym)|CRUD]]) [[data]] from a [[database]]. One may command the database engine via the DBMS's own [[user interface]], and sometimes through a [[TCP and UDP port|network port]].Utilizing [[standards-based technologies]], BAC’s commercial, off-the-shelf ([[COTS]]) software, services and a proprietary data [[search engine]], ([[BACEngine]] Data Search Engine), all produce data conforming to the [[GJXDM|Global JXDM]] and the [[National Information Exchange Model]] (NIEM).
