    Well there's a hyper-specific post targeted to my interests if ever there were one! This is incredibly, incredibly cool - I've been fascinated by Penrose tiling for years, was even lucky enough to see him speak about it in person a few months back, so the idea that a fairly simple single-shape version was also hiding out there this whole time is awesome.

    This is incredible. Then I read the authors, and realized that I have met at least one of the authors (Craig), and that this was done at a local university? What an incredible thing.
