FOTD -- October 28, 2009 (Rating 7.5) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image takes us back to one of the formulas of the old MandNewt series. (Number 11 to be exact.) I long ago forgot what these formulas were originally intended to do, but regardless, as today's FOTD shows, they still make interesting images. I named the image "Spirit of the All", leaving it to the viewer to decide what the word 'all' refers to. In my opinion, 'all' could only mean the multiverse, including everything both objective and subjective, which would make the spirit of all this stuff equal to God. But I see nothing unusually godlike in the image, so the exact meaning must forever remain an enigma. Whatever the meaning of its name, the image rates a solid 7, with an added 1/2 point for the effort I put into smoothing the colors. The calculation time of 3-1/4 minutes will try the patience of no one but the most impatient. Those impatient few may save time by flying out to the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> and viewing the already-calculated image posted there. Heavy clouds, drizzle, and a temperature of a raw 52F 11C made conditions unpleasant here at Fractal Central on Tuesday. The fractal cats gave up hope for a pleasant day early, and spent most of the day curled up, sleeping near the heat. Except for the fractal, my day was uneventful. The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and be at peace with your lot, even if it's only a few hundred square feet.
