If you’re like me organization is the difference between passing chemistry, or not being able to find all the notes you took about cyclohexanes the night before the midterm.

Creating Silhouettes
I was inspired by the T-shelves by J1 Studio- beautiful modal furniture that looks great and is held together by zip ties. This is really take two- I did a paper prototype of this yesterday (http://www.instructables.com/id/Rapid-Prototyping-with-Paper-T-Shelves/). But after messing around with my little triangles-and-squares glued together model, I had to admit to myself that something was structurally wrong with my model.

Paper dinosaur.
This is the pattern I made for a paper dinosaur. For other models and paper art, see Waljoris on Flickr, Picasaweb, and others.This adorable little printer papercraft comes from the spanish web blog Papel Continuo . For those of you who don't know, Papel Continou is advertised as a "Design, art, music, popular culture and freakismos retroactive." (translated as per Google Translate) Indeed, the site is a truly fascinating read, not only do they report on new art styles and fashion and music but they also apparently love retro and geek culture too.
