Fractal of the Day

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image shows a midget in the Z^(10.01)+C Mandeloid as it appears 100 levels up the logarithmic ladder. It shows why fractals in this range are virtually ignored. Basically, they all look the same, and the universal sameness is not particularly interesting. I did my best with the thing, but with so little to work with, there was not much I could do. I gave the image no rating and named it "All the Same". The render time of 2 minutes is surprisingly brief. And even this short time may be avoided by going to the FOTD web site at: A beautiful sunny and warm fall day, with a temperature of 70F 21C here at New Fractal Central on Monday went un-noticed by the fractal cats, who slept away most of the day. I passed most of the day in my easy chair or hopping around on my walker, waiting for the recovery of my sprained ankle to reach the point where I can kick the walker good-bye. On some days I get concerned and depressed at the slowness, and I lack the energy to write the FOTD, which explains why there was no FOTD for October 31. But badly sprained ankles don't heal overnight. Luckily, the regular graphic work is quite slow, and unless I fall into another bout of depression, the next FOTD will appear in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and look for the golden lining. Jim Muth jamth@mindspring.com jimmuth@aol.com |
