FOTD -- September 22, 2009 (Rating 8) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Due to a lack of time, today's discussion will once again be short. The parent fractal is the same as yesterday's but the scene has shifted to a blunt valley of a large hole just to the northeast of its main bay. I named the image "Something Else" because it's something else in the same fractal. The rating of an 8 might stretch the worth a bit, (Is the image really better than yesterday's?). The minibrot at the center does strike me as above average for the Z^1.9 range however. The calculation time of 1-1/4 minutes will pass in a flash. The trip to view the finished image on the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> will pass in a flash also. The clouds moved in fast here at Fractal Central on Monday, though the rain held off until well after dark and the temperature reached a pleasant 75F 24C despite the lack of sun. The fractal cats ignored the weather, enjoying instead the fresh catnip rats we picked up on Sunday. Cassie got a bit tipsy. My day was uneventful; even the work was humdrum. If nothing unexpected comes up first, the next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and after listening to the 'music' blaring from a passing car this afternoon, I am left to wonder why the young people of today seem to enjoy being kept angry.
