FOTD -- January 03, 2011 (Rating 4) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Sunday was totally relaxed here at FC, and my fractal ambition was limited to finding an interesting fractal, which I did. I present it here for entertainment purposes only. No one is expected to take it seriously. The name "Lazy-Day Fractal" confirms the lack of effort. The rating of a 4 is well below average for FOTD images. Actually, there could be some pretty good sub-images in today's parent fractal. Unfortunately, I could not work up the energy to go searching for them. Luckily, the calculation time is only 1-3/4 minutes, making running the parameter file a minor task, and even this small effort may be eliminated by surfing to the currently active FOTD web site at: <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html> where the finished image is posted. The original FOTD web site can be accessed at: <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> But it is not yet up to date. A little rain fell Saturday night but cleared away by 11am Sunday. Lots of sun and a temperature of 45F +7C for the rest of the day kept the fractal cats stretched on their window shelf. The humans did little more than the cats did, except for a bit of speculating about what might happen for the rest of the year. The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and a Boltzmann brain is a self-aware unit that appears spontaneously from nowhere. No one takes their exist- ence seriously, but some of the latest cosmological theories make their existence inevitable, at least in an infinite and eternal universe at maximum entropy, a condition that our uni- verse currently seems to be destined for.
