I am sharing this example of origami folding done by Bruno Boden of Google while accompanied by Rufus Cappadocia on his cello. It is a wonderful example of how many different kinds of play that there are. This is an example of what psychologists call coplay. In early social development, children play next to each other in proximity but do not truly interact. I think this is an adult version of that.
I also wonder how much his love of origami built his other mental skills. Bruno Bowden was part of the team at Keyhole, the company that built EarthViewer lets you fly smoothly over an image of the globe assembled from satellite photos, and then zoom in on your own house. When Google bought Keyhole, Bowden helped turn the software into the indispensable Google Earth. Recently, he's moved over to the Google Gadgets side, helping to build more gotta-have-it technology.
