Fractal of the Day

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: I have no idea why the FOTD of January 26 failed to appear on the Fractint list even after six attempts to post it. But the FOTD of January 27 did appear, and I assume today's FOTD of the 28th will also appear. At least I hope it appears, because it's a lively little midget. It's so lively in fact that I named it "Schizophrenic Midget". And the name is no exaggeration, for the out-of-control riot of colored arcs around the midget borders on madness. The expression 1.7Z^(-5.3)+5.3Z^(-1.7)+(1/C) was iterated up to 1500 times to create today's image, which rates a 7. The rating is a comedown from yesterday's lofty 9, but still above average. The parameter file renders in 10 minutes, making a download of the image the better way of viewing the scene. That download may be found on the Web at: The fractal weather turned cold again today as a high wind arose around midday to keep the fractal cats indoors. The cats dislike a high wind because it hides the sound of potential danger. They were snug by their radiator as the temperature fell through the 30'sF (from 3 to zero C). The philosophy is taking a brief break while the town waits with bated breath to see if our lowly football team can win the super-championship Sunday evening. I am making no predictions, but when I return with tomorrow's FOTD the answer will be known. Until then, take care, and hold your breath (but not for too long a time). Jim Muth jamth@mindspring.com |
