A Writer's Notebook, One-Thousand-Seven-Hundred-And-Ninety-Five

I have mentioned my interest in origami and other paper arts before.  I have experimented in this arena throughout my life, but in recent years I became more serious in my explorations.  It has still been a bit intermittent, really, but I have been considering how to create certain types of things for a few years now.  Today I got my hands on a digital copy of Robert Lang's book on origami design and I am very excited.  Lang is a scientist who became interested in origami and wound up making it his career.  He was the fellow who worked with NASA to design the mirror for the James Webb Space Telescope so that it could fold into the space shuttle and still deploy properly.  I had the opportunity to meet Lang several years ago and that was a large part of what inspired me to take my interest to this level.  It feels fitting that it might be his work which will enable me to actually create what I have been imagining.
