Not a traditional show but interesting.

a truly astonishing show. there is a little bit of thinking envolved. i liked it. good work mr. Norton.

Great interview, very entertaining.

Very cool stuff. I used to do quite a bit of origami when I was a kid.

Origami is not something I do myself. It requires three qualities I do not possess...talent, coordination, and patience. I cuss enough without adding origami to the mix.

But I did find the show fascinating. The idea of having software to design paper folding is quite awesome! I'll certainly have to check out that web site.

Fabulous show. Bravo. Sure, its not classic geek stuff, but I loved it.

the combination of art and tech is gonna be great.

It was technology that invented the piano, which enabled great music.

I admit I was leery about seeing this episode, for I did think that this might have been as far from tech as one could get.

After seeing it, though, I am happily astonished. Not only were the end products amazing to see (especially given that it is all from one piece of paper), but the technology behind it and the concepts discovered (the behaviour of paper. the application of natural geometry, the use of CAD software) were awesome. It was a prime example of the techniques/discoveries being more valuable than the immediate end product (i.e. the hallmark of research science).

So to Pat and the Systm gang: Awesome show!

fun episode. Thanks for this one!

For those who are interested, here's a great lecture about origami Robert Lang gave at TED conference this past February.
