Paperless Origami
I guess that everyone over the age of five has tried origami at some point. I've been folding planes since I can remember, and some other basic models nearly as long. Some people can fold amazing, 3-dimensional shapes out of a square of paper in virtually no time, but I've never had the patience to really sit and work at it. I guess if I'd known how I'd spend most of 2006, I might have tried a little harder at folding a triceratops or a salmon. I might even have joined the British Origami Society, or studied the maths of origami.
By now, I'm sure you'll all be intrigued as to what I plan to spend the next 12 (at least) months doing. You'll also be wondering how origami is possible without paper. Fear not, for I intend to tell you. Dear readers, the answer is simple. Obvious, even. I've rapidly become an expert at the "Newborn Fold" in that last link. I'm sure I will come to learn many of the other interesting and unusually named folds out there. I'll yearn for the simple days of paper and scissors. Unfortunately, I'll not have the pleasure of the "Ro Fold for Boys". At least not this time. I'm also slightly disturbed to see a fold called the "Poo Catcher." This sounds like I game I might have played at the beach, at the age of 5, when I was certain that my parents weren't watching.
If ever your partner suggests that it might be time to think about having children, remember this: nappies can and do leak, and when they do it's very messy.
