Harmonograph

Some of you may remember a harmonograph I constructed a very long time ago. A few months ago it was noticed by someone from Barnes & Noble who was involved in the soon-to-be book The Art and Science of Spirals. Below is the picture that I expect to be in the book when it comes out in August.

In fact, they even wanted to pay me for this, and asked for an invoice. I then created my first invoice ever, No 001 and sent it to them. Its copied below.

I N V O I C E Jonathan C. Lansey [address removed] Right to Publish Image Sold to: Barnes & Noble, Inc. [address removed] New York, NY 10011 Invoice No Date Date Uploaded to Ftp Server 001 1/28/09 1/22/09 Quantity Description Price 1 Rights to use image drawn by my Harmonograph in the book The Art and Science of Spirals. $100.00 and a free copy of the book when it is published Invoice Total in US Dollars $100.00

And to my near disbelief, they actually sent a check a bit later!

So expect another blog post when I get mailed my free copy of the book - hopefully soon! (they say "August").
