@neauoire “open other end”

@neauoire he looks so content with his Shapes

@neauoire I feel better now about the messiness of my own desk.

@neauoire That looks like a model built from Zome ( https://www.zometool.com ) and the model at the window is a small rhombicosidodecahedron, one of my favorites!

Look at all the objects hanging from the ceiling! I wish I could make novel shapes for a living

@neauoire hoping to become just like him in the future. god please

@neauoire the modern version of this would be a browser with lotsa tabs open. Less aesthetic :(

@neauoire

Yeah, such a witty and warmhearted portrait of a warmhearted true mathematician. There are many recorded lectures and interviews with the man around, all worth listening to.

I was about 10 when Conway's Life became widely known, and it got me. I spent days on end filling graph paper with experimental Life evolutions (no computers then, of course). I once tried to understand his On Numbers and Games but failed. His little textbook on Automata is lovely. A great man.
