FOTD -- February 06, 2009 (Rating 7) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: The parent fractal of today's festive cubic image resembles a seven-pointed star with a cubic Mandeloid at its center, the whole thing packed neatly inside a circle. Today's scene is located deep in the southernmost point of the parent's star. I named the image "Cubic Consequences" though I do not speculate on what the consequences might be. The rating of a 7 means that I consider the image to be about the current FOTD average. The calculation time of 11-1/2 minutes is slower than I would have liked, but the small wait is worth the sight of such an unusual cubic minibrot. And even this small wait may be avoided by hurrying to the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> and staring in awe and wonder at the finished image posted there. The full day of sun here at Fractal Central on Thursday was spoiled by a morning temperature of 9F -13C and a brisk wind that made it feel even colder. The fractal cats spent an hour or so in their sunny window, then retired to the comfort of the warmest radiator. My day was notably average. The next FOTD, hopefully better than average, will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and be of stout constitution, but don't overdo it.
