Word of the Day

Solipsistic (adj., SOLL-ip-SIZZ-um)

Only concerned with the self, either philosophically (believing that the self is the only thing that can be known) or practically (believing that you're the only thing worth caring about). Either way, it's a lot of navel gazing.

Link of the Day

Metamorphosis cut paper zeotrope

Dutch artist Veerle Coppoolse is making a zeotrope out of cut paper that shows a butterfly's life. She's posted photos on Instagram of the progress, but you can see one version of it here:

If you watch closely, you can see the butterfly go through all stages from larva to butterfly and then gone. It's a terrific presentation, and to do it via cut paper is another level of difficulty.

You can see more of the progress at Coppoolse's Instagram or help crowdfund the project.
