Today


You forget how awful colds are until you get the
next one. blargh~!

*slumps*

There's a casabamelon in my head.

I am currently addicted to Blue Man Group's Audio CD.
They have a number of songs on here with the name 'mandelbrot' in
it ... so I just had to look it up.

My brain did not need this, but....

A mathematical/geometric problem/answer with visual properties (too lengthy
for me to explain, let alone understand) and no matter how they zoom
in on it, the equation (and it's rendering) remains just as complex. Fractal geometry. It's very pretteh. And the Math Geeks (long may they rule)
just render these things with every program capable of crunching the numbers
and converting it into pictures.

Shares the pretteh:









This one is wayy cool:



Different look at a different portion:



A 'related' fractal called a 'julia set':



Icon worthy, I'm sure.
And that's about enough of that...
