Once in a while I go hunting on Farcebork. Today I easily bagged four Romance Scammers. Or maybe (or more likely) only one, with four accounts. The comments I sniffed out are sad attempts to honeybutter a woman. I post them here – with little editing needed, since the names are undoubtedly fake – because…
I am so lax . . . I’ve worked on this texter script for a few years, but haven’t done much recently. It’s usable as it is, though, so I finally created a page for it here.
This was my first “signature” piece. I still have seen nothing exactly like it. The only thing that makes it different is the final lock fold; it was a “what-if” that came up during a lot of shifts in a folding sequence. When I saw the final product, I was astonished. I have at keast…
I have a hard time all around with diagrams. I first learned origami from diagrams, but I’ve found that, for me, videos can be much easier to follow. Then there is the software.

In a dream, that night, an ancient tale was sung: A Goddess who upon occasion sought Her long-dead lover; her unfettered might Disguised in mortal form, her spell so wrought That…
I am a file hoarder.I have files that were created or downloaded nearly twenty years ago, when I had little drive space and my only option for backup storage was floppies. Over the years a few have been lost, and some have been permanently deleted because they outlived their usefulness and had no sentimental value….
A Parable of Privacy and Security Once upon a time there was a a country ruled by a blind giant. In the beginning, he seemed to be a kind ruler. His subjects were contented and happy. Neighboring kingdoms readily allied with his. Since most of the people thought that he had their best interests at…

At first, when I think of Origami, I think of the beautiful logic of its geometry. But in the process of folding, a kinship to poetry emerges. Poetry is made up of words.
