Recently, someone who follows my blog asked for my permission to use one of the images here (a tessellation featuring regular heptagons, etc.) as the artwork to accompany a piece of music he created. I granted permission without hesitation, and am now posting a link to his song, Heptagon Heaven’s “Destroy the System.”

Spinning Truncated Icosahedron
I don’t reblog things here, but I do appreciate getting e-mail from my followers, and I don’t mind posting an occasional link. One of them, a gentleman named Donald, sent me this link to an interesting video of a spinning truncated icosahedron, viewed from both the inside and outside, and set to music. To see it, simply follow the link above. Thanks for the tip, Donald — this is a really cool video!

The link above is to that blog’s archive — just click on any small pic there to make it larger. Unlike other Tumblr-blogs of mine, this one has no reblogged material — it was the banality of reblogging, you see, that drove me from Tumblr in the first place.
