Tougher'n me!

Sometimes the translator gives up. It's peanut pidan - 
an egg dish -  and there is tofu as well. 😃


 

Sci-Fi

An argument for reading science fiction today can be made
more forcefully than before. It is a long-neglected part of literature, deemed
unimportant because it does not deal with the present or the past
but with the future. For not dealing with people and their emotions but with ideas.
No longer so.

On a sphere

Spherical G

An equilateral triangle on a sphere will have a larger area than in 2D.
Indeed, all of Spherical Geometry is dedicated to the mathematics of
spherical triangles.

Lighting

An often misunderstood tool in 2D is the color gradient.
In effect, this tool allows one to give lighting effect to an object
and suggest 3D.

Once transferred to Paint 3D, my 2d object gets used as a sticker on a 3 D ball.
To which I can add other stickers.
