Fold Till You Drop

Posted by michael on from the no-spindling-or-mutilating-allowed dept.

There's an origami convention convention underway in Japan this weekend, with some truly impressive pieces on display. There's an AP story, but words don't do it justice. See the personal site of one of the professional paper-folders, or photos taken at a previous convention, or just discover the essence of origami.

    Yahoo News slideshow does this a lot. Basically they have a blurb they want to cover, but no picture. So they take a semi-related picture, post a caption, and then mention the blurb right after it. Think about it, is Kerry riding a bike newsworthy in the first place?

    Oh. My. God.
