I like to fold origami mostly following instructions from youtube-videos. It really helps to calm down and relax and it's a great feeling being able to fold figures without instructions after a couple of times.
Here's the little Yoda I've made as a christmas present5 -

I don't have a rubberduck so I'm using this origami dog that I made and glued it to my wall for "origami-dog-debugging"? I'm calling him Padfoot.6 -
Just discovered Origami for Sublime Text 3.
Works like a charm, just need to practice the shortcuts4 -
When somebody demos a new app to the CIO as a functional product but turns out to be a concept prototype made with Origami without any proper code... literally a glorified PowerPoint with animations....3

I get in to the office today, and I'm informed that my ceramic origami swan (https://devrant.com/rants/1231342/...) fell and broke during office cleaning.
I'm now afraid to bring new stuff into the office for my desk2 -
After the capsule started spinning, what seemed to be a suspended copper wire unfolded like an origami. Soviet tech not only looked cool, but was easy to repair. I loved every minute of marveling at this wire kaleidoscope before it overheated and went out with a bang — a small cap popped. I’ll recap it later.

I don't wanna be specific today, so I'll just post a song exerpt.
I love you, I hate you, I'm on the fence, it all depends
Whether I'm up or down, I'm on the mend, transcending all reality
I like you, despise you, admire you
What are we gonna do when everything all falls through?
I must confess, I've made a mess of what should be a small success
But I digress, at least I've tried my very best, I guess
This, that, the other, why even bother?
It won't be with me on my deathbed, but I'll still be in your head
Put me on a pedestal and I'll only disappoint you
Tell me I'm exceptional, I promise to exploit you
Give me all your money, and I'll make some origami, honey
I think you're a joke, but I don't find you very funny

can't make a good handle for your razor? take just the razor part and call it "kamisori".
can't make a good knife blade lock mechanism? make a metal tab that people are supposed to hold with their thumb at all times and call it "higonokami".
can't make nails or screws? join pieces of wood with splinters and call it "ishitani".
can't make glue? fold paper so it just about holds its shape and call it "origami".
do you only have literal mud at your disposal? make a ball out of it and call it "dorodango".
remember kids, when a subpar thing is called a western name, it's frowned upon. but if the subpar thing is from japan, weebs will drool over it and buy it. simple as that.2
