Four Triangular Dipyramids, Surrounding a Common Point I made this using multiple stellations, some of them with tetrahedral symmetry, to modify the cubohemioctahedron, one of the uniform polyhedra. I did this using Stella 4d, which you can try for yourself, free, at Also, here's what the…

A Second Tessellation Featuring Regular Octadecagons, Regular Octagons, Equiangular Hexagons, and Concave Pentagons This is the same tessellation as the one in the last post, except that this one has had its colors inverted, using MS-Paint.

The Great Rhombicosidodecahedron, Adorned with Images from the Saturnian System In this rotating images, the decagonal faces show images of Saturn and Its Rings. The hexgons show Saturn's largest moon, Titan. The moon Mimas, with its giant crater that makes it resemble the "Death Star," from Star…

My 2025 Birthday Star I turn 57 years old today, so here is a 57-pointed star to mark the occasion. It's actually 3 stars, each of which has 19 points, which works because (3)(19) = 57. The individual stars here are {19/9} heptacontagrams -- a blue one on the bottom layer, with green on the top,…

Did you know that #snow is not white? If it's snowing where you are, go outside and look straight up. Against the cloudy white background, you'll see snow of a different color.

Does a light bulb actually emit light, or does it simply absorb darkness?

To WordPress: I’ll do my own writing, and your A.I. can go take a virtual leap off the top of a virtual skyscraper!

Here's a bit of #Daredevil #fanfiction I wrote. I hope you like it. robertlovespi.net/2015/09/26/d...

We need better, less ambiguous abbreviations for the various disorders known as "BPD." It stands for BiPolar Disorder, as well as Borderline Personality Disorder, and Brief Psychotic Disorder. #BPD Thankfully, I only have one of these. Can you guess which one?

I love that Jeri Ryan posts anti-Trump stuff on here. Even more reason to love her (in addition to the fact she played an excellent character in Star Trek)

Amen! (It must be true, if it could get an atheist like me to say "amen.")

#Neurodiversity wasn’t created as a cute euphemism. When we say “autism isn’t a disease, it’s a difference,” we’re serious. We’re finding a way to live well in this world as #autistic people. To be happy & unashamed of who we are.

Two Symmetrohedra Which Each Feature Four Regular Enneagons This symmetrohedron has the following faces: four regular enneagons, four equilateral triangles, and twelve isosceles triangles with vertex angles of 43.5686 degrees. Its net is shown below. If this polyhedron is stellated once, the…

A Polyhedral Journey, Starting With the Truncated Tetrahedron Here's the truncated tetrahedron. It is the simplest of the Archimedean solids. I decided to "take a walk" with this polyhedron. First, I used Stella 4d (available here) to make the compound of this solid and its dual, the Catalan solid…

Happy Perfect-Square New Year 2025 As I write this, the new year of 2025 has already come to parts of the world. It arrives here, where we're on Chicago time, in about four and a half hours. This new year is the first perfect-square year since 1936, and there won't be another one until 2116. Since…
