Origami master talks about the technology behind it.
This guy is awesome - I've made a lot of models from his books. Never took the opportunity to meet him - he used to be here at geek-central.

That's so cool, lori.
Man. I got an origami-a-day calendar from a friend some time back. I have to admit, I totally suck at it. (It's got to be something with fine motor and patience. Mostly the latter.)

patience, grasshopper.

Heh. Yeah, not my strong suit when it comes to stuff like that. (Knitting, needlework, anything like that.) I'm the ...what in the hell eats grasshoppers? Other than my cats?

Duh. I was totally drawing a blank, which is just weird.
I think this week took out more than a few IQ points. It's the first major fucking huge crisis (uh, if someone big gets really pissed, the agency will bring the wrath of hell down on someone) in the new job, and unfortunately, it was a doozy. I'm still not convinced we're scoped it all out.
But my big boss was really nice about it and everyone has been great about coming together and just working together as fast as hell. I'm backed up to the hilt and being commended for my pushiness, and we aren't assigning blame (and it wasn't my fault anyway!) so that's good. But what an adrenaline disaster.

I had dinner with aurelia, and it was good. I saw Brenda for a minute and that was also good, although we wished that she could have stayed for dinner.
Then I tried to go home.
Some drunk guy apparently jumped on the tracks in front of the train downtown, trapping us halfway in the station with no power, no lights, and stuck in the car for a half hour. When we finally got going again, we lost the lights halfway between one station and another, hurtling us through the sky in utter darkness. Halfway home, the train went express, so most of us had to get off. Then four more trains came and went express. Heavy snow continued to fall. The wind picked up. I deeply regretted not going to the bathroom before leaving the restaurant. A local train finally came and I hobbled several slippery, snowy blocks home.
I'm thinking about going to bed now.

Oh man! Amazing how fast he's growing. I can't believe I'm so lame that I haven't visited. But then, I'm lame about travel. I've got set ones. Introducing a new one is a challenge.
