Always busy with my hands. Woodworking and paperfolding. Found on occasion in a theatrical pit band.

TIL how to fold a row of equilateral triangles in a strip of paper. Start with any fold. Here I’ve done one that is nowhere near 60°. Open it and fold the paper so an edge follows the previous crease. Repeat. The triangles quickly become almost equilateral. Can you justify this?
This #littlefreelibrary seems to be unaffected by global warming

Finally finished the disdyakis triacontahedron Little Free Library! Special thanks to Simon Tatham in England for mapping the globe onto the DT net.

#mathtober update: the disdyakis triacontahedron with a view continues to make progress. Painting starts today. Any guesses?

The @GenerativeFish project is unauthorized plagiarism, and shameless financial exploitation of my artwork (github.com/LingDong-/fishdra…). It is a sham; I do not endorse it; and I ask people not to buy these copyminted NFTs.
Hi @MapScaping , I was wondering if you could steer me to some help with a mapping challenge. I need to project a world map onto a polyhedral net. Tried Wolfram Mathematica, but is way beyond my skills... any suggestions?
I'm stranded at the crossroads polyhedra and mapmaking--I would like to be able to scale and print a projection of the globe on to a disdyakis triacontahedron. I've found this:

but haven't got the first idea of how to implement it.
Thanks for any help!

This amazing little tool simply draws all streets in any city you want. As examples here are the town I grew up in (20k residents) and the city I live in (5M residents). Have a play with it. The exported screenshots make great desktop backgrounds. Source: buff.ly/2uht4vJ
