How to approach an engineer?

If you need to talk to your co-worker who happens to be an engineer, then never (i mean never) go and tap him/her to start the conversation. It will freak him out. And in case he is listening to some music with his headphones on (which is true 90% case) then tapping him may make him fall from his chair. So don't do it. If you want to talk.. then send an im first. That the best practiced approach. Thats the general norm. :D

My Origami Creations

I tried to create few origami things.. like duck, lily, crane. I wanted to learn the tricks when i saw the serial prison break. Creating this kind of stuff is not hard but also not trivial. But its always fun. So far I managed to create duck, crane, lily and few airplanes. Right now I am trying to learn how to create origami rose. This one seems a little bit trickier and harder also. I haven't taken any picture of all those things I have done so far. Mainly because all those things I tried on normal papers. When I create them on colorful papers I am going to take some pictures and upload them.
