Lego Letterpress
Combining LEGO and letterpress printing is an awesome idea. Prints are available from Physical Fiction, a collaborative effort between Samuel Cox and Justin LaRosa.

Benoit Mandelbrot, RIP
Mathematician Benoit Mandelbrot has passed away at age 85. He only received tenure at Yale ten years ago.
Dr. Mandelbrot coined the term “fractal†to refer to a new class of mathematical shapes whose uneven contours could mimic the irregularities found in nature.
Here’s a photoset with a few examples of his work, or you could watch this amazing video of the Mandelbrot set in action. Rudy Rucker offers a tribute to Mandelbrot with some more examples and memories of a meeting with the man.
Update:From the BBC, How Mandelbrot’s fractals changed the world.
