Intermittent reinforcement in action

I like to fold things. I also like having page-a-day calendars in my office. Sometimes these likes intersect delightfully. Last year, for example, I had a paper-airplane-a-day calendar, where yesterday's page makes today's plane. Excellent office air force for taking over to status meetings.

This year, I tried this origami-a-day, which is better than the last one I tried. I forget which series that was, but not only were the pages just enough off square to be annoying, the models were really aimed at beginners.¹ This one is too, but so far in five months, it's given four truly excellent models and about a dozen good ones. Which come up just often enough to keep me checking each day.

I wouldn't hesitate giving this to a child who likes origami.


1. I'm an intermediate-advanced folder -- or at least, I worked my way through Origami Insects. I am Robert J. Lang's bitch.
