This boy doesn’t give a hoot about crayons, but give him paint and a stick, and he’ll sketch away.

One of my favorite activities at the Exploratorium in San Francisco was shifting blocks to achieve maximum overhang. The result was mathematically beautiful. It’s interesting to see that the problem has been tackled again more recently & the solution makes use of random walks.
As the author of the maximum overhang paper notes, “Once one finds the classical solution, related to the harmonic series, it seems so beautiful and satisfying. It seems counterintuitive that one could do much better—that’s one source of fascination.”
Hurricanes regularly approximate logarithmic spirals. This is meant to illustrate that Irene approximates the well-known golden spiral.

Baby art!!! (by devaburger)
This started out as baby with a sponge brush and ended as baby crawling through paint onto card stock. I like the parts where his legs swept through.

Thanks, Apple, for REPLACING MY HARD DRIVE when I sent my computer to you for repair. Since I effectively have a brand new laptop now (albeit with crappy battery life), I have a new wallpaper. This is a closeup photo of a small section of watercolor on Yupo “paper”. Take my “natural fiber lover” card away — I’m painting on a sheet of plastic.

This picture made me happy, and I just had to share it.
