Welcome

Hi, I'm Stephen.

I'm a technical author, web developer and computer enthusiast.

I'm seriously into Origami, having been folding paper since I saw Robert Harbin on the TV. I'm also a Science Fiction fan, enjoying everything from the Big Finish Radio plays to the latest Jodi Taylor book.

This site contains a range of articles, experiments and demonstrations.

Fujimoto Approximator

The Fujimoto approximation technique can be used to fold a piece of paper into any odd number of units. This utility shows how you can use this technique in your own practical origami projects. You can also use it to experiment with the Fujimoto approximation technique to gain an insight of how it works.
