FOTD 04-02-10 (Bubbles in the Air [5])
by Jim Muth 04 Feb '10

04 Feb '10

FOTD -- February 04, 2010 (Rating 5) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: NEW FORMULA VERSION ALERT! Today's formula is the final version of the DivideBrot series. The only change is that the variable escape radius now works. I'm still feeling a bit down, but the fractals keep coming, even if they are not quite up to the FOTD standards. When I heard on the news today that the plan to return men to the moon has been officially killed, it helped not at all. Its death was a fore- gone conclusion. As for today's fractal, it's an average one that rates a 5. I named it "Bubbles in the Air". The name partly refers to the effect of green froth in the image and also to the death of the space program, which has vanished like a soap bubble. I'm not sure the image is worth the 6-2/3 minutes it takes to calculate. But that time may be cut drastically by viewing the pre-calculated image on the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> 2cm, 0.8 inch of snow fell Tuesday night here at Fractal Cen- tral, but it vanished almost by magic when the sun appeared and the temperature reached 39F +4C Wednesday afternoon. The fractal cats purred their approval. For me and FL the day was average. The next FOTD, hopefully well above average, will be posted in 12 hours or so. Until then, take care, and what ever happened to the superconducting supercollider that would reveal the secrets of the universe?

FOTD 03-02-10 (The Square Squared [5])
by Jim Muth 03 Feb '10

03 Feb '10

FOTD -- February 03, 2010 (5) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: A continuing rush here at FC on Tuesday left little time for a fractal search. Luckily, the Mandelbrot set came to the rescue with an unexpected scene rather deep in Seahorse Valley. The name "The Square Squared" refers to the obvious square shape surrounding the unresolved minibrot at the center, and also to the fact that the whole thing was created when Z was squared. The rating of a generic 5 was held down because the Mandelbrot set has been explored so many times, and is so familiar. The good side of all this is that the image calculates in a blazingly fast 9 seconds, at least on my machine. The image may also be seen on the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> Heavy clouds and a temperature of 34F +1C kept a chill over Fractal Central on Tuesday. The fractal cats, unconcerned as always about outside conditions, passed the day by the heat. My day was once again quite busy. The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and be careful.

FOTD 02-02-10 (Real or Imaginary [5])
by Jim Muth 02 Feb '10

02 Feb '10

FOTD -- February 02, 2010 (Rating 5) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Due to a busy day and my continuing depressed spirits, today's discussion is brief. The image is an almost-Julia set of the East Valley of the Z^3+C Mandeloid. Actually, the scene is double-rotated a mere 0.00025 and 0.00025 degrees from the true Julia orientation. Most of the action was achieved by rendering the image with the outside set to 'imag'. This also explains the name "Real or Imaginary", which, if taken as a question, can be answered 'imaginary'. The calculation time of 3 minutes is many times the incredibly brief time of yesterday's image, but still well within reason. An equally reasonably way to enjoy the image is to surf out to the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> where the finished image and near instant enjoyment awaits. I'm not sure why I've been so down the past few days. It seems to be something about the world situation, and life in general, but I just can't put my finger on it. FL says I'm too wrapped up in politics. This may be so, but with things going as they are and doomsday shows filling the TV channels, I don't need politics to bring on the blues. The partly cloudy skies and temperature of 34F +1C here at Fractal Central on Monday were a notable improvement over the weather of the day before. The fractal cats appreciated the improvement but still preferred the heat. My day was unexpec- tedly busy, and my less-than-high spirits drained most of my enthusiasm for work as well as fractals. But despite all, a fractal did appear, and the next FOTD will still be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and be of stout temperament but lean heart.

FOTD 01-02-10 (Mandelbrot Mayhem [No Rating])
by Jim Muth 01 Feb '10

01 Feb '10

FOTD -- February 01, 2010 (No Rating) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: For some strange reason, I felt quite depressed most all day Sunday. Nothing out of the ordinary went wrong; it seemed to be something connected with overall cultural decline. (Real or imaginary makes no difference.) But even the usually dependable fractals failed to bring cheer. I did manage to find an every- day scene moderately deep in Seahorse Valley of the dependable Mandelbrot set, which appears as today's non-rated image. The name "Mandelbrot Mayhem" is something that came to mind effortlessly. There is really no reason for such a name. The calculation time of 1-1/3 seconds is probably an overesti- mate. On my machine the image finishes before the monitor can switch to super-vga mode. To see the image, run the included parameter file or visit the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> The image may be viewed equally effortlessly at both places. The total sun here at Fractal Central on Sunday was mitigated by a temperature of only 28F -2C, which was much milder than yesterday's 14F -10C, brisk winds and lack of sun, but still much too chilly to enjoy the outdoors. The fractal cats ignored the weather and sought the heat. I also think today is the 20th birthday of the only remaining original fractal cat, Thomas, who still thrives with my sister back at Old Fractal Central. If all goes well, and I see no reason why it should not, the next FOTD, which will not be just another scene in the Mandel- brot set, will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care and cheer up. Time never stands still.
