Fractals

The New York Times has an article about a model of a fractal, the Mosely Snowflake Sponge.  It's a cool thing made out of index cards, on display at the USC library. 

It led me to The Institute for Figuring, which is dedicated to:
the poetic and aesthetic dimensions of science, mathematics and engineering.
a site after my own heart.

Learn to fold an origami lobster.  Marvel at the business card Menger Sponge.  Participate in the Crochet Coral Reef project.  The intersection of math and crafts.
