This shows how tiles fit underneath but it's going to be a headache to connect it to regular studs, because it has an extra 2/5 of a stud width every four studs. I'll figure something out or go insane trying. :-)

"Anything that can be automatically done for you can be automatically done to you."
– Wyland's Law of Automation
"We will make electricity so cheap that only the rich will burn candles."
– Thomas Edison, during the first public demonstration of his incandescent on 31 December 1879.
"Oh! nature's noblest gift—my gray-goose quill!
Slave of my thoughts, obedient to my will,
Torn from thy parent-bird to form a pen,
That mighty instrument of little men!"
– Lord Byron, 'English Bards and Scotch Reviewers' (1809).
"The question of whether a computer is playing chess, or doing long division, or translating Chinese, is like the question of whether robots can murder or airplanes can fly -- or people; after all, the "flight" of the Olympic long jump champion is only an order of magnitude short of that of the chicken champion (so I'm told). These are questions of decision, not fact; decision as to whether to adopt a certain metaphoric extension of common usage."
– Noam Chomsky, 'Powers and Prospects' (1996).
This pattern was concieved by Moon Attic. I first rendered it in AutoCad and then downloaded it into PS. I tried to leave it in B & W, but it made one dizzy. I chose these colors, because, they are the one's I am wearing!!
I've had lots of little volunteers Japanese painted fern seedlings popping up this year. And the plants I put in 7 or 8 years ago are full and spreading.
In the old days, some cafés in Paris used to keep some little drawers for the regular customers to keep their own napkin.
Now napkins are made of paper and these are not used anymore, but whenever I see one of them in an old café, I smile and wonder if any of them still keep a napkin.
Just practicing with cheese slopes... This shape is interesting to me because it is ostensibly made up of 6 equilateral triangles, which are put together to supposedly make 3 diamonds, which should fit together to make a perfect hexagon. But it is very clear that the cheese slopes are not perfectly triangular, so you get strange things like this. It seems to me that the orange and red parallelograms are each larger than the blue polygon (is it a rhombus? or an irregular hexagon??), but they're all the same size, made up of the same number of slopes.
Just a series of five pics of patterns or repetitions I took whilst in Japan.
A close up of one of a pair of rather large metal gates at the Nijo Castle in Kyoto.
This is nothing special; I just want to start cataloging patterns for various reasons, so I wanted to put some of the simple ones online too, for reference later.
This is made from inserting 1x1 bricks in between each corner of a square made from headlight bricks. The squares are then pushed together.
