FOTD -- September 07, 2009 (Rating 4) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's fractal lies in the parent fractal that comes about when various portions of Z^(-1.414) and Z^(-4.414) are mixed together and (1/C) is added. I rated it at a lowly 4 because even after all the work involved in finding it, I ended up disappointed. The name "Cause and Effect" implies that I was pondering some abstruse philosophical conundrum while the fractal cooked. Worst of all, the calculation time of 18 minutes is about 1100 times as long as yesterday's, yet the resulting image is only 1/10 as good. Luckily, all the frustration may be avoided by visiting the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> and viewing the completed image there. Lots of sun and a temperature of 81F 27C made Sunday a day to be enjoyed here at Fractal Central. The fractal cats tried lying on their window shelf, but it was still too warm to enjoy the increasing sun there. My day was average, which means boring, but is the way I like it. The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Take care, and religion tells us the universe began when God said 'let there be light'. Science tell us there was a big bang.
