January 30 A new multi-part, multi-material thing: And the pieces are like this: Like the Tetrabox piece last month, which went well and is now in stock, this one is held together with rare-earth magnets and improved with glow-in-the-dark glass.
December 24 Thanks again for a great holiday season! And since I just realized I didn't announce it here, for completeness: Behold the Glow Cuttlefish Bottle Opener. December 10 This year's factory seconds sale is on. Update: Well, that lasted about two days. December 2 Why so serious? WhaleSnail In other news, I set up gift certificates through Paypal: December 2 Christmas Shipping When to order to be reasonably sure your package will arrive on time. Our last shipping day before Christmas is Monday the 23rd (cutoff at noon Eastern time!) Best wishes for a great holiday season! October 22 I made a sculpture that comes in four pieces and assembles to make sort of a box. I don't have stock of this yet – just my proof – but I've ordered parts for more.
August 26. Mathematics breathes new life into Escher’s art. Posted by Anonymous on June 23, 2011 M. C. Escher, who died in 1972, is famous for using mathematical ideas in his art, drawing on concepts from symmetry and hyperbolic geometry to create complex tessellated images. Now an artist is continuing his work using mathematics that Escher never had the chance to explore. San Le, an engineer and artist based in Albuquerque, New Mexico, says that Escher’s use of mathematics makes it easier for other artists to follow in his footsteps. “No one has done impressionism better than Monet or written symphonies better than Mozart or Beethoven, but because there is a mathematical component to this, it gives us an opportunity as artists to build upon the work and not just copy it, because there is so much new mathematics that has come along since Escher’s day.”Escher’s tessellated images were based on periodic tilings, meaning that you can slide a pattern in a certain direction and have it exactly overlay the original.
