program to generate tie-dye patterns

[silky]

this would be interesting and possible.

you'd start with something; maybe say a voronoi diagram with a few colours, and then 'bleed' the edges in some way.

[silky]

i guess really there are a couple of different styles.

the voronoi would be one; but the circular one like in the current logo would be different.

having voronoi's in hand it's now necessary to think about how to actually do this 'bleeding' business.

i don't think "bleeding" is the right term, though.

apparently latin squares can also be used to get cool related things

see - http://www.isama.org/hyperseeing/ in particular - http://www.isama.org/hyperseeing/08/08-d.pdf (last of the 2008 issues), first article.

it amuses me a lot that maybe large latin squares are hard to generate, or something, and then this style of clothing could be "hard" to make in some very technical sense.

this t-shirt was actually NP-hard to print, so yeah, it'll be $35.

"oh, that one? man that's PSPACE-hard, forget about it."

[silky]

oh man, imagine doing the latin square thing but in 3 dimensions somehow!!
