Had classes from David Huffman while at UC Santa Cruz. One of my favorite professors and he did not like when people constantly brought up Huffman coding.
Spent several hours talking various topics, but one of his favorite areas of exploration when I was around campus was paper folding.
A couple of links with examples:

- akamoonknight 6y agoDo you know how he makes such precise curved folds? I'm no expert, but love me some origami and I can't believe that I'd be able to get folds to turn out like that. Anything I would attempt would invariably have little sub-creases instead of a smooth fold.
- bitslayer 6y agoNormally you would use a creaser, which is like a dull knife that is pressed down into the paper, perhaps over a slightly giving surface.
- unwind 6y agoImages don't load from the second link for me. Sad museum? :/ Chrome on Android btw.

- rndgermandude 6y agoMy Firefox says for media-internal.mitmuseum.org where the images are hosted on The certificate is only valid for the following names: *.s3.amazonaws.com, s3.amazonaws.com Let's hope you happened to get served a valid cert, and not that the cert validation is disabled or broken in your Firefox.
- kuu 6y agoYep, Firefox is telling me that some parts of this page are not secure, such as images. I guess you may have more strict security settings.
