Fractal of the Day

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image is a blow-up of a tiny hole that was hidden nearly invisibly in yesterday's image. In my opinion, the picture is good enough to deserve a rating, so after much consideration I decided to give it a rating of 7. I reused the color palette that worked so well in yesterday's image. After more consideration I named the image "Jewel in the Night". There is something somber yet jewel-like about it. And unlike the midget in yesterday's haphazard image, the midget in today's image is surrounded by its proper 2-4-8... series of fractal elements. Unfortunately, though the image is worthwhile, it is unusually slow, taking almost 1-1/4 hours to complete on my machine. This is a bit too much time to ask anyone to spend on a fractal, but there is a way out of the quardary. I have sent the GIF file of the finished image on ahead to Paul at the FOTD web site, where it will soon be posted, ready for quick and easy viewing. The FOTD web site may be accessed at: The rain moved out but the clouds hung on here at New Fractal Central on Monday, while the temperature of 50F 10C gave an unpleasant clammy feeling to the air. The fractal cats did not worry about the weather however. They were still busy staking claims to the new arrangement of bookshelves in the hallway. My day was slow, but I am ready to start getting around with a walking stick instead of a walker, and this will make everyday things far easier to accomplish. The next FOTD fractal will be accomplished in around 24 hours. Until then, take care, and will artificial-intelligence computers ever be able to dream while they sleep? If they do dream, how will we verify it? Jim Muth jamth@mindspring.com jimmuth@aol.com |
