FOTD -- November 08, 2006 (No Rating) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image is a part of the same parent fractal that held yesterday's image, which itself is a near duplicate of an image that appeared back in April '06. I named it "Random Randomness" because of its apparently random mix of order and chaos. Having spent only 5 minutes finding the scene, I could not give it a rating, but the image is marginally worth the 12 or so minutes required to render it. As a last resort, the image may be viewed on the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> where it is posted for fractal convenience. Morning clouds gave way to afternoon rain here at New Fractal Central on Tuesday, while the temperature of 50F 10C made things feel just a bit chilly. The fractal cats, who have yet to go outside, were not concerned with the weather. They spent the day chasing each other up and down the hallway. In my depart- ment, the heavy work kept me from fretting too much about my banged-up ankle. The next FOTD will appear in 24 hours, weather permitting. Until then, take care, and where is Godot?
