Slightly off topic, but heck. I was lucky enough to have David Huffman as an instructor at UC Santa Cruz. Very engaging and smart guy. He got a little tired about being asked about "Huffman Coding" all the time, given it was so long in the past and he had done a number of other things. One of the things he enjoyed talking about during office hours (if help wasn't needed) was his paper folding: http://www.graficaobscura.com/huffman/ http://www.graficaobscura.com/huffman/ Gives a good example.
