June 16


I really don't spend all my time goofing off at work. Honest. However, on those occasions that I have a few minutes, I'm not averse to spending some time on some utterly useless activity only for my entertainment. So in a moment of down time at work, I took a post-it note and made a paper aeroplane (seen above).

It's pretty, and more importantly, it flies. The balance is pretty good for something I guesstimated, eyeballed, and experimented with. The wing was originally a little big for the rest of the frame, so I added the makeshift elevator at the back. A paperclip at the front to bring the center of gravity forward, and voilá! Aeronautical magic.
