FOTD -- January 11, 2009 (Rating ?) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: I don't know quite what to make of today's image, which gives me a rather queasy feeling. I named it "Threads of Passion" which has nothing at all to do with a suggestive outfit. Not knowing what to make of the image, I could not decide how to rate it. The question mark leaves it to the individual viewer to decide a rating. The image is just different enough to qualify as an FOTD, and its calculation time of an incredibly fast 22 seconds makes running the included parameter file not only a breeze, but a full-blown typhoon. Those who dislike high winds may view the image, already calculated, on the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> A temperature of 27F -3C and an all day snow spoiled the planned events in the Fractal Central area of the Susquehanna Valley on Saturday, but the forecast foot (30cm) of snow failed to pile up, leaving us with a not very impressive 5 inches (12cm). The fractal cats wondered why the outside world looked so different. My day was occupied by graphics work and thoughts about clearing the sidewalk, which I will put off until tomorrow, when the next FOTD will appear in a blaze of glory. Until then, take care, and do it right.
