Anyway, my friend Lauren commented how the counterclockwise swastika represented shrines on maps in Japan, specially the torii gates – gates to the spiritual world. I remembered that…
So since I’ve started to think about my own site layout, I decided to look at the sites I frequently visit that spark my inspiration. I decided to check out a modern mythologist, William Henry. His site’s got a few elements that I think I could incorporate into my own. Not really much of a…
In sculpture class a.k.a, 3D design class, I was contemplating the carbon atom and its Vedic name, “ANU” or at least that’s what the Vedic mystics named THE atom, not specially the carbon atom.

More Design inspiration the Belousov-Zhabotinskii reaction (or BZ reaction)! The Belousov-Zhabotinskii reaction (or BZ reaction) is performed using a mixture of sodium bromate, malonic acid, sulphuric acid, and ferroin.
