"Buy Nothing Day" sounds too eat-your-peas for such a lazy Friday. How about Pie for Breakfast Day? Coconut custard is a better quiche.

origami2.jpgThe Spiral Data Tato -- A Curiously Complex Origami CD Case. Instructions for making this origami CD "case" -- it seems more like gift wrap, but could be made from durable yet foldable paper -- are at Instructables. There's also an explanation of the Japanese name, but it's not a translation of "collapsible," although if you own a collapsible steamer, you'll instantly understand the concept.

Click on the not-so-obvious "next step" link there to see the printable pdf and illustrated folding instructions.


Facing save: Why shouldn't the mighty Patriots pour it on?" Phil Taylor at SI.com.

Best line: "We can't hate them, because they're beautiful."
