Welcome to OrigamiSquared. We are site that is about about origami, and the math behind it. If you don't like math, there is plenty of content here without math, but we hope this site will help you see the fun side of math! Make sure you bookmark our site if you like it so you can find your way back!

Update # 11: Really cool!

I don't have time to work on the website (sorry to my two or three loyal fans), but I have a video to share with you! This is a lecture by the origami guru Robert Lang sent to me by one of my math professors. Click HERE to view the lecture.

Update # 10: A plea for help

Please support our YouTube videos by watching them, subscribing to our YouTube channel (http://www.youtube.com/user/origamisquaredvideos) and sharing our videos with your family/friends. We are preparing to apply for a partnership on YouTube, which would both fund us and widen our audience. The more support our videos get in the next few months, the more likely we are to get accepted. Funding and a community makes a better site for everyone. Thanks for your help!

Update # 9:

We have a new YouTube video! You can see it at this link. Please rate it and leave a comment. I also added sources where you can find instructions for the models in my gallery. Look at my gallery under the respective models for instructions on how to make them. Hopefully there will be another update soon!

Update # 8:

*Sigh* I promised something, didn't I? I got our forum up. It can be found Here: http://origamisquared.heavenforum.com/index.htm . If you guys would like to fund me, I can take the "free" out of the title! ;-) Currently there is nothing up there, but that is up to you guys! Start posting!

Unfortunately, the farthest I got with the rest of my promises is nightmares about tessellations. The tiled sharks were chasing me.

I have been busy though! I made a website about the game Super Smash Brothers Brawl. I do feel bad about leaving this site unfinished while I work on my Brawl site (It is named Brawl Squared), but I wanted to get the Brawl website out while Brawl was still such a "hot" game.

You can see how my Super Smash Brothers Brawl site is going Here: http://brawlsquared.googlepages.com/home

I promise (such a dangerous word, isn't it?) I will work on this site more this summer. If you want to be e-mailed when we are updated, please send me an e-mail at nicholas.origamisquared@gmail.com . If you are scared to give out your e-mail, check out our Privacy Policy Statement to see how we protect your e-mail and your other info.

Update #7:

I finished the Support us (without giving us money) section of the website, so check that out!

Send a picture of your origami creations to nicholas.origamisquared@gmail.com . I think it would be neat to have a user gallery added to my site. If I like you creations, they may be included in the gallery. There is no deadline yet, but if I don't get enough response to the idea, it may never happen. Make sure you only include your work and if you want credit for the creation, include some form of identification. This is the internet so I suggest sending your first name and last initial (e.g John S.) but feel free to include your full name if you feel comfortable with it.

Check back to our site soon because in the next week, I will try to work on the "Tessellations" section and make a tutorial section! Unless something bad happens, I will also have a fully functional forum running in the next week.

Update #6

New! I added a YouTube gallery to the website. You can find a link to this under "My Origami Gallery". I also am adding a section about how you can support us without giving us any money. Please take a look at that section, because the bigger a community we become, the more services I can provide.

Note: I started labeling the updates to make it easier to see the progression of this site.

Update #5

Ouch. I am sorry I haven't updated the site recently. Soon after the last update, I came down with a bad case of TBATC (Too-Busy-At-The-College) but after finals, the doctor prescribed a large dose of Summer and I am feeling great! Expect some new content this summer. I recently added content to the "How is Origami Math?" section of the website, wrote a short story of how the rules of origami came to be (see '"Pure, Sacred, Holy" Origami'), and made an e-mail address for the site you can contact me at.

Send any questions, comments, or suggestions to: nicholas.origamisquared@gmail.com

If there is any interest, I will make a newsletter that you can subscribe or unsubscribe to at will. It would send e-mails out every once in a while and tell you what (if anything) is new about my site. If you are interested about joining such a newsletter, please send me an e-mail.

I also made a privacy policy to make me feel official and open up possibilities for the future. It seems like overkill for a site consisting of one owner and a staff of one person but better safe than sorry. You can view it here: Privacy Policy Statement
