Oblique Origamic Architecture

I recently saw some of Hannah Biemold's oblique origamic architecture by way of the Evermore Origamic Architecture mailing list, and decided to have a go at the oblique technique myself. (Please pardon the flimsy paper and rough cuts - this is just a proof of concept)

Frameworks

Zope is not, as is commonly misstated, "a programming language like ColdFusion", nor is it "like PHPNuke written in Python". It's rather more complicated that that - the best way I can think to describe it is "A self-contained, web-based application for building other applications which includes the ability to do embedded scripting like ColdFusion or PHP, which in turn allows you to build things like, but not limited to, PHPNuke."

The Little Things

Proper tagging can mean the difference between me keeping the file in my iTunes library, where I can easily find it by name/genre/title, or throwing it in the trash because I won't remember what 'sndrp_fl.mp3' is 5 days from now.

I'm sure there's an architectural reason for this behavior, and now that I know what the error caused by a missing object looks like I hopefully won't get stuck on this again, but it does seem peculiar.

Pressure and Time

I'm glad I learned frailing first, because the Scruggs style is hard... there's no getting around it, no matter how eager I am to be good at it right now, which of course is usually the reason a person decides to learn any instrument.

Deciphering Amazon Customer Reviews

I have a love/hate relationship with the reader review features offered by online retailers like Amazon.com.

The Deleterious Effects of Clutter

On the occaisional day that I work from home, I usually sit at the kitchen table. The kitchen table, like every kitchen table in every place I've ever lived, also serves as the default horizontal space upon which to pile bills, junkmail, grocery receipts, spare change, paperclips, pens that no longer write, crumbs, dead batteries, and lord knows what else.
