At long last, we have correctly completed our Japanese Brocade Level 1 Menger Sponge! It ended up being a bit larger than the first two and took us a little over one month to complete.
Now that we have finished our prototypes, the time has come to begin the final product, the Level [...]
It’s been a while since I’ve posted an update on our scrum team’s origami project, and we’ve come quite a long way!
First, our pile of cranes was getting unruly, so I finally brought in some thread and started stringing them up. They’re hanging in groups of 40, so there are still some odd cranes lying [...]
This Etsy shop is so filled with geeky awesomeness that I decided I couldn’t just share it with a friend or two and needed instead to dedicate an entire post.
The Pink Toque
The shop is mainly focused on creative handmade soap designs, but there are a few other fun products tossed into the mix. A [...]
At the moment we have only folded 451 Scrum Post-It paper cranes, but our pile is getting a bit unruly. I really need to go through and string them, but I haven’t found the time. However, in true Scrum fashion, the crane-folding task has been parked for the foreseeable future.
Last week, our product owner came [...]
A year ago our software team became a pilot project for the Scrum software development process. Among the changes that came along with this was a giant board in our work area where we write down all of our tasks on Post-It notes and move them around as we complete them. Every two weeks, we [...]
In the Weird Coincidences department…
The day after I published my last blog post, a new series of ads went up in the Oslo subway system, featuring money origami! I think I did a double-take the first time I saw one of the signs at the station, but unfortunately my camera battery needed to be charged, [...]
There is a very bizarre mix of things that interest me, and I’m always excited when two of those interests overlap (for example, last month’s mash-up of Halloween and Geek culture).
Today’s strange bedfellows are travel and origami. More specifically, foreign currency and origami. Along with the rest of my family, I’ve been doing origami since [...]
In honor of Halloween (my favorite-because-it’s-so-ridiculous holiday), I’ve been saving a few links for completely geeky jack-o-lanterns.
Cool Gaming Themed Pumpkin Carvings for a Geeky Halloween
Aside from the usual assortment of Pacman pumpkins and game console logos, these two rather stood out for me:
A sackboy from Little Big Planet! How adorable!
(Explanation for non-geeks: Little Big Planet [...]
I have to admit that I love cool computer cases. In the same way I loved Swatch’s old-school transparent watches back in the day, I really appreciate the plexiglass cases that I can see inside. So it’s not a big surprise that I encouraged Lucas to drop quite a bit on a pricey Antec Lanboy [...]
I saw this today on the Craftzine blog, and since I can’t remember which of my friends and family have a Kindle, I thought I would just repost it here and let them happen upon it themselves!
What large, friendly letters!
Yes, it’s a homemade Kindle case designed to look like the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.
I [...]
