A major piece in designing this kirigami art puzzle was learning about the Dudeney's Haberdasher Puzzle from a 2022 orgami tutoring session I had with Cliff Landesman, who had independently discovered the isosceles triangle variation of the Haberdasher Puzzle. Upon further research he learned that others had already discovered it, I'm guessing, including Dudeney himself, as I would think that would be the natural progression to discovering the equilateral triangle dissection.

Playing with my dad at Live Oak Park in Berkeley, CA. I hope to find another tennis-playing unicyclist to join us. Jim Sowers, if you are reading this... well come on out! It's safer than unicycle basketball and you only need to use one arm!
Thanks to my friend Amberly for filming.Unicyclist Untrashes Berkeley on Easter 🐇 #shortsjeremyshafervariety2021-04-07 | Every Sunday for over a year Jeremy Shafer has been unicycling around Berkeley picking up trash all volunteer. He focuses mostly on University Ave., and on average picks up twelve 33-gallon bags of trash per outing, depositing them in city bins along the way. It's great exercise and good work. To get involved in the movement is simple... all you need is a bag and a trash picker and you too can help keep your city clean!

This model is almost identical to the one that I published simultaneously on my origami channel here: youtu.be/KlnTAyUyXjI , but this cake is a little bit more limited in where it can hold candles, but, on the plus side, this cake can hold the candles much more securely. This was the original cake tutorial that I was going use for my origami channel before I got the bright idea that I could fit more candles on the cake by spreading out the pockets, but now I kind of wish that I had just used this cake because the candles can be held in place in a much more sturdy way. But the other cake is perhaps better for blowing out the candles. To fold the candles, here is the link to the the tutorial: youtu.be/KlnTAyUyXjI?t=1194 and to fold the the cake that insecurely holds 32 candles here is the tutorial: youtu.be/KlnTAyUyXjI?t=692

Every Sunday I volunteer for 3 to 6 hours unicycling around, picking up trash from the streets of Berkeley and depositing it in the city trash cans. For this particular untrashing workout I was joined by my unicycle basketball buddy Jim Sowers and this was the video I took unicycling behind him as he untrashed. Here is the untrashing video he took of me: youtu.be/x85YH0zEyh0

#ShortsSalsa Dancing in Quito Ecuador (2017) - Jeremy Shafer and Adriana Argotijeremyshafervariety2020-11-08 | One of my favorite activities when I have travelled around the world to origami conventions is dancing salsa. When I went to Ecuador in 2017 for the VII Encuentro Internacional de Origami: Riobamba), I got to do a good dose of dancing thanks to Adriana Argoti from the local origami club who happened to be an expert salsera! Even though we had never danced together, she was able to perfectly follow my often strange pretzel-ly salsa moves that I make up. To me making up salsa moves is kind of like designing origami models!
This is video #2 of my Ecuador trip vlog. #3 Handwhistling in the Tulcan Cemetery is here: youtu.be/ZSSUR2tbCkI . I'll publish #1 which includes some clips from the actual ecuador origami convention soon.Amazing Parque De Los Recuerdos, Tulcán, Ecuador 2017, Jeremy Shafer Handwhistling Vasija de Barrojeremyshafervariety2020-10-22 | Handwhistling - Parque De Los Recuerdos, Tulcán, Ecuador 2017. This is Part 3 of my 2017 Trip to Ecuador Vlog (Stay tuned for parts 1 and 2). In this video I give a short photo tour of Parque De Los Recuerdos which is large cemetery filled with beautiful topiary (carved bushes) and main attraction of the city of Tulcán in northern Ecuador. While there, I demoed handwhistling of the Ecuadorean song, "Vasija de Barro" (Clay Vessel), which I learned in my World of Music class at UC Santa Cruz in 1995. The reason for my Trip to Ecuador was that I was one of the invited guests at the International Origami Convention Ecuador 2017 - VII Encuentro Internacional, and the reason for my excursion up to Tulcán was to visit some dear friends I met there in 1997.
Here is the Wikipedia page for Tulcán Cemetery es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cementerio_de_Tulc%C3%A1n and here is the webpage for Parque De Los Recuerdos (in Spanish) https://www.carchi.gob.ec/turistico/index.php/vive-el-carchi/turismo-por-canton/tulcan/120-cementerioHandwhistling Above the Clouds on Top of Mount Tamalpaisjeremyshafervariety2020-10-18 | Jeremy Shafer, that's me, handwhisting to the inspiration of Mount Tamalpais and the flow of the clouds. I mostly just do improvisational handwhistle but you might hear some familiar tunes in my whistling. It felt so peaceful and relaxing to be up there on the mountain above the clouds at sunset! Mt Tamalpais is in Marin County just north of San Francisco, CA.Easter Bunny Picking up Trash Around Berkeleyjeremyshafervariety2020-04-13 | On Easter I dressed up in my Easter outfit and spent 4 hours picking up trash around the streets of Berkeley - all volunteer - and this video is a few clips from that. For more info on our group please visit www.untrash.it . So far I'm the only one on the unicycle! I've found picking up trash via unicycle to be quite satisfying, especially when the pieces of trash are spread out because then it really is more efficient on the unicycle than doing it while walking. When I encounter a bunch of trash in one spot I do get off the unicycle to conserve my energy. Picking up trash around the community for me is like food for the soul. It's how I find peace of mind in the midst of this awful pandemic. It's great exercise, it's doing something good, and I'm able to do it while practicing social distancing.Unicyclist Picks Up Trash in Berkeley Hills at Untrash It Party (www.untrash.it)jeremyshafervariety2020-03-02 | Food for the soul...

I don't know the names of the tunes or if they are original; they must have been at least influenced by songs I've heard, but let me know if you can name the tunes and I'll update this description.Veggie Straw Panpipes - Swan Lake attemptjeremyshafervariety2018-12-26 | How to play beautifully with your food! At first I was a little disappointed that the 7-11 veggie fries were hollow, but then I discovered this fun challenge! Moral: If you draw straws....... win or lose, you'll still have a panpipe!
Some of the straws were a little shorter so they became the higher notes, and on at least a couple straws I bit off the ends to make slight tone adjustments.
Disclaimer: I don't pretend to be a virtuoso veggie straw panpiper. It was literally my first time ever buying those, so. ya... there's definitely room for improvement! But I much prefer hand whistling, so making music with veggie straws probably won't be a major hobby for me anytime soon! I hope I've inspired some people to at least try it!

But you need a 33-inch by 11-inch rectangle (3X1), so you'll need to cut off one inch from the length in order to get a 3X1 rectangle.Juggling 501 (siteswap pattern)jeremyshafervariety2013-06-25 | How to juggle two balls in style!7 Ball Juggling Tutorialjeremyshafervariety2013-05-27 | Here's my attempt at teaching how to juggle 7 balls.
