Title, About the
Many years ago at a friend's high school graduation, I spent an hour at a table with my brother and our band director. We were strange people. I ate one mint for half an hour, our band director made faces in his salad dressing, and my brother melted things in the decorative candle.
One of the things my brother melted was a plastic fork. He carefully heated it only just enough that the tips of the tines curled neatly into little coils. We examined it and decided that surely it was no longer good for stabbing people...or food. Thus was born the original safety fork: harmless, but useless.

Sweet deal
I am guessing this was done in Cocoa… Any chance at seeing the code?

Sorry it took so long to reply…I’m still getting used to WordPress.
You’re correct in guessing it’s a Cocoa app, although I spent more time thinking about OpenGL than Cocoa to write it. But then, maybe that’s the point.
The code isn’t particularly clean; this was a learning-Cocoa, learning-OpenGL, messing-around project of mine. If you’re still curious, email me and I’ll send it to you, but it’s not really ready for general consumption. I’ve got a few ideas bouncing around in my head for better managing the animation and maybe using more interesting models. My plan is that either when I’ve finished the things I’d like to do, or when I lose interest, I’ll make it GPL, since I’m not really out to make money on it.
