Semi-regular puff star tato #origami @origami From a regular pentagon. The fun comes from the pentagonal twist of a decagon.

When my father-in-law was a teenager, he was up on a mountainside in Northfield Falls, Vermont, stripping alder bark with a spoad. (I think people used it for mulch - I was never clear on that part of the story.) He nicked his femoral artery and started […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

Rymþ Masu #origami @origami

The life-end wrap might make for good gravestone text.

From local lad, @JosephORourke https://cs.smith.edu/~jorourke/MathOrigami/

From a discussion yesterday about appropriate #origami models to teach students of the Japanese language. The masu came to mind, since it's simple and traditional. Then I got to wondering, what size paper makes a masu of 0.184 liters, the volume of a ichigōmasu? 20.13cm or 7.93 inches.

From Thimble Theater, 18 December 1936.

Kind of hoping the madness takes the shape of a really huge bronze statue, so that we can film each other pulling it down the day after.

One cannot improve on the traditional #origami crane. That doesn't get you out of modifying it like an infinite number of monkeys. Here is a crane with a vertically compressed thorax, a longer neck and tail and about 20% longer wings. For those long haul flights. @origami

Does the Nobel Committee award a Peace-for-Our-Time Prize?

RE: https://mastodon.social/@AfroIsReborn/115616404658578655 Marvelous work, but it cannot be easy to be an origami artist named Jackson.

The gireh pattern on page 226 of Form and Number looked like an iso-area fold to me. And -- surprise -- it is, though it does not collapse. It would, I think, tessellate. Because, you know, gireh. #origami @origami https://archive.org/details/cain_formandnumber_ebook_large

Tied up the kitchen garbage back last night and pulled it out of the wastebasket. As the garbage resettled, the bag gave a sigh of great world-weariness. (An empty whipped cream can, depressurizing.) And though it is the most pathetic of fallacies, I hear you, kitchen garbage, I hear you.

Sweetarts, a sour candy, dating back to 1962, has taken to impressing each tablet with a false dichotomy. (I think this is to call attention to the sweet/tart dualism.) You see pairs like chill/classy, calm/bold and retro/fresh. I thought this one was pretty cool. #mathart

Abbey Cube Not to disrespect the art, but #origami is too dang quiet. Needs some music. Here's five songs from Abbey Road, embedded in a Husimi-Fushimi cube. Best used with Newpipe or some other ungoogly software. https://nebula.oschene.com/index.php/s/zPofEEM7rmAYHF4 @origami

Does anyone else get spam email with a paragraph from a random Russian book in quoted-printable encoding? There are no photos, no links, nothing spamlike at all. There are non-printing strings of hex, eighteen digits in each email. Soviet number stations? An art thing?

Listening to a station out of Hong Kong and there was an elections ad, reminding me that all the candidates are mature, patriotic and responsible. Gave me a premonitory shiver.

I don't know what #brutalist #origami design might be -- both terms are much abused in popular writing. Still some interesting work here. https://www.admiddleeast.com/story/sudanese-architect-hadeel-subahi-foldlab-origami-design-meets-innovation @origami

It's really not appropriate to keep calling it dog-whistling, when it's audible to everyone this side of the grave. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear: it's wiener-whistling and nothing else.
