When I was five, I was fascinated by how a kaleidoscope could produce such beautiful and unpredictable patterns, and then never replicate them again. How could they all come from the same device, yet be so different?

This blog does not have a particular topic or thread, and the posts are not frequent. I just write down things that I think about, and have time to write down.
