| Origami- An ancient art of paper folding | | 2008-05-14 07:08:00 | | Origami is a popular hobby and I enjoy making origami models from many years. It is one of hobbies, which I like becuase of easy availability of material. You don't need to buy kits, hobby material or other stuff from hobby stores or malls.Colouring square paper is enough to learn or have fun with this art. And white page can be used as well, as you can colour it yourself. I have tried origami simple models at my nursery class as art projects and I found that children are very happy to learn easy to follow paper folding models.Do you know that origami or Paper folding has become an art form, because people are making paper craft models whick are itself a piece of art, from this easy available and cheap product "paper"?Let's learn the definiton of Paper folding:"Paper folding is the art of folding paper; it is known in many societies that use paper.

| BMW Z4 with folding hardtop | | 2008-04-17 01:54:44 | | It’s another fine day on the test track as a BMW roadster–with some groovy camouflage–zips by. But take a closer look at the photos and you see that this roadster–a redesign for the Z4 that’s due out next year as a 2010 model–has a folding hardtop. Sure, the top on this prototype looks like it is made of fabric, but closer inspection shows that it looks like fabric has been put over the solid roof panels–note the cut line in the roof, near the rear window. Peering past the psychedelic coverings, the new Z4 is gaining a more muscular look and grows about 1 inch in overall length and width. The roadster runs on the same chassis as the recently launched 3 series. BMW plans to fit the new Z4 with more-powerful engines, including talk of a twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter inline six, and a diesel. Fans of the M performance range might even see the M3’s 4.0-liter V8 slipped under the new Z4’s hood. The engines will also likely be fitted wit | | By: Auto News: Car Reviews, Car News, Car Shows | | |

| "Origami"- An ancient Japanese art of paper folding | | 2008-03-23 09:17:41 | | Origami is a creative art and hobby. As far as I remember my first paper folding or origami learning experience, it was "making a boat". First few days, after learning I was making number of boats with every available piece of paper. I still love to learn origami and as an educator, I teach it to my children also. And now it is very easy for everyone to learn it as internet itself is a big resource. There are number of books available which provide step-by-step insructions to learn it. You would be surprise to know that origami can help in mental health therapy. Read this intereting story told by George Ho, who is mental health nurse in Perth, Australia, he tells us how paper folding appealed to him in 1993:Read at About me pageNow let's discover what is "Origami"?According to Wikipedia "Origami (折り紙 origami?)

| Hudson Folding Boat | | 2008-02-06 21:25:03 | | Gavin Atkin over at InTheBoatShed.net has an interesting post on the Hudson folding boat. A folding dinghy from the 1930's, it kind of shows that the various folding and Origami Dinghy designs aren't as newfangled as we might think.

| Another Folding Bike for your Boat - now available in the U.S. | | 2008-02-05 19:56:49 | | We've had some bicycle notes before... an electric bike, and some other good folding bike links. The bicycle is a popular transport method for when you go ashore, providing a compact method of transport that doesn't have much if any ongoing cost, doesn't require insurance, is always available (unlike borrowing the marina car) and even provides exercise. Of course hauling heavy items and foul weather are downsides, but you can't have everything :-)This Business Week article details another new entry into the U.S. market in the folding bike scene. The Strida 5.0 sounds like a nice rig.

| Folding Bicycles | | 2007-08-28 19:29:02 | | A common problem for liveaboard and cruising boaters is how to get around town when you have reached a layover destination. Sometimes you are just wanting to anchor out and not be bothered by the world, but often you want to tour a town, see the sites, or just pick up a quick bite that you didn't cook yourself.
A common solution is a bicycle. An inexpensive bike can get you miles down the road in reasonable speed and comfort (at least depending on the weather), and properly equipped can even haul some packages. As an extra, you get some much needed exercise :-) If you are looking for less exercise, check out these electric bikes.
A downside is the fact that bikes can take a fair amount of room and seem to be ungainly when "parked" at best. They always fall over, have handlebars sticking out at odd angles, and the pedals are designed to tear the skin off your legs and ankles.

| Barquito Folding Boat - Flapdoodle build log | | 2007-06-04 17:59:35 | |
David has undertaken a Flapdoodle folding dinghy. He has also been kind enough to put up some highly detailed web pages chronicling the construction with pictures and text. Also make sure and check out part 2 of his build.
The Flapdoodle design continues to be optimized/modified and looks to be an interesting little craft. If I decide to build a different dinghy than my Origami, I may have to try this design. I see how this boat-building stuff gets addictive; there's always another design you want to build :-)
