I did a search on “frito lay salt crystal shape” and found what you described: a hollow square pyramid. Very cool.

Wow! What an honor to be hanging over your piano! Thank you so much Isaac. I hope you enjoy looking at it as much as I have. Good timing too because we just send the files for the book to the publisher last night.

Thank you so much. Making art can be meditative.

For example, the Republicans' effort to stop Revolution Wind project has gotten a minor amount of mainstream and social media attention, but @magaziner.house.gov committee hearing questioning about their arbitrary and capricious attempt to stop it has less than 500 views.

Often when we “cancel” we can describe that more specifically by saying that we are factoring out a giant 1. The giant 1 distinguishes that particular type of cancelling from other inverse operations like adding x-x, or taking ln (e^x), for example.

I used to teach Math for Elementary Teaching at the university, but now I am a private math tutor. One of the most important things I’ve learned from the kids I teach is the notion of the “giant one” like 5/5 or x/x. We use giant 1s for finding equivalent fractions, simplifying and division…

Because there’s nothing like hand sewn cotton jersey. I love the stuff. (I have an another jersey shirt that I’m 95% finished sewing.) Your outfit is so creative, colorful, and fun. FYI, I’m going to G4G in ‘26.
