It was a bright, hazy day yesterday, another spare-the-air day, so we couldn’t see through the smog to the mountains across the bay. But we knew they were there.
Today looks like this:

It’s a foggy, muzzy morning, and I’m taking a good rest before the Wren Boy madness that tonight will bring.
Happy holidays to all, and may you have a good winter rest sparked with late night music and dancing!

I’ve posted before about the intersection of art and math, as well as a link to this cool mandelbrot video. The other night Netflix offered me a math video! (Their algorithm is pretty amazing. They’ve been getting better and better at choosing the kinds of weird, quirky, non-mainstream films I like.)
This is a film about folders—people who do the kind of origami that will astound you. And they link it to higher mathematics, which also will astound you. At least, it amazed me.
Painting and drawing and playing tunes are the things that make life real, They are what makes my life matter. These, and berry pie.
