FOTD -- December 24, 2008 (No Rating) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Because of the rush there will be no FOTD for December 25 and 26. The next FOTD will be posted as scheduled on December 27. Today's image is a quick but harmless thing that I named "Something From Nothing". It is hardly more than a bright spot and a filament tree. Since I spent all of 3 minutes on it, I gave it no rating. The image calculates in 20 seconds. Those who would rather not calculate may view the image in finished form on the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> Cloudy skies and a temperature of 21F -6C kept the fractal cats near the heat here at Fractal Central on Tuesday, while the things that needed to be done kept me on the run. Due to the holidays, the next FOTD will appear in 3 days on December 27. Until 72 hours have passed, take care, and whatever you cele- brate at this time of year, may it be a happy one.
