Well, today's fractal rates only a somewhat-below-average 4, and the thunderbolts have already started falling. The picture is named "Thunderbolts of Thor" in honor of that Norse god of thunder. The whimsical formula behind the image is sqrt(Z)-sqr(Z)+C, another of those expressions that promises little but delivers much. The scene consists of the obligatory midget surrounded by a very convincing display of yellow lightning bolts against a blue background, radiating outward from the midget in jagged spokes. The parameter file takes around three minutes to render -- not too bad for most fractalists. And the fully rendered image is available in JPEG format for download on Usenet at: and on the Web at: The fractal weather today was sunny but quite chilly, with a temperature of 36F (2C), which kept the cats firmly indoors. However, it was a fine day to get some of the fractal central yard work out of the way, and I worked most of the afternoon clearing an unsightly tangle of vines from the side of the garage. Unfortunately, this left little time for writing the fractosophy I pondered while pulling on the vines. I may get my thoughts posted tomorrow; I may not. Regardless, I'll return then with the next FOTD and a few words about something. Until tomorrow, take care, and the philosophy is building.

But that has had no effect on the fractals, which once again appeared almost by magic, as though nothing had happened. And today's fractal, at least in my opinion, earns an above average rating of 7. To create today's image, I entered some of my more bizarre parameters into the M-Mix4 formula, finally finding the interes- ting fractal that results when 1/Z is added to 666*Z^666 before adding C. I chose the number 666 because that number is consi- dered apocalyptic in some circles, and I enjoy defying danger. Today's FOTD is another of those unlikely images, since one would suppose that 666 parts of Z^666 would simply obliterate one measly part of 1/Z, resulting in a boring open circle with 665 tiny identical bays. In the world of fractals however, things are seldom as one would suppose, and instead of the boring circle, the expression fills the screen with an interes- ting fractal. I named the picture "Midget Inferno" after deciding on the dark red and black color scheme for the scene, which gives the impression of lurid flashes of red breaking through billowing clouds of black smoke. The parameter file takes 4 minutes to render. The JPEG image has been posted as always to the Usenet binary newsgroup: and to the web at: The fractal weather today was raw. Heavy clouds off the ocean, and a chilly wind of 42 degrees F (5.5 degrees C) made condi- tions too unpleasant for the cats to venture out of doors. They passed the day instead in frustrated comfort, stretched in front of their favorite radiator. As for the philosophy of the day -- it's still inside me, where there are lots of thoughts that I haven't had a chance to compose. But in a day of two I'll have the ideas hatched and ready to propose on the philofractal list. So keep tuned to that list. You wouldn't want to miss the enlightenment, not would you want to miss your chance to correct a mistaken wannabe philosopher. Until tomorrow, take care, and save the best fractal until last.

Do your trains run on time? My Japanese colleagues are concerned about being late for their internment. (BTW is there an Atlantic rail-tunnel that no-one told us about? If it went anything like the Channel tunnel it must have been 200 years behind schedule and trillions of pounds over budget - and it leaks. No wonder they kept it secret!) >Do you use a PC, Macintosh, or UNIX computer to design fractal art? How much >did you spend to purchase the computer, monitor and fractal software? > No, as a tribute to M C Escher I make all my fractals (and my ray- traces) by hand. Initially this would save time as windows takes so long to boot up, until I realized that I need to use the Windows calculator for deep zooms. Tip - if you try this, put the calculator in scientific mode for even deeper zooms. I only use a macintosh when its raining. (Although I eat apples in all weathers) I spent 2 pounds and 99 pence on pencils and paper (hint - 2H grade is best for the intricate details close to 'lake' edges whilst softer B pencils work well on the larger areas). BTW - I'm not one to boast about my charitable nature but just so no-one thinks I'm tight, I didn't keep the penny change as the shop had a charity-box on the counter, so it actually cost me 3 whole pounds (but I did get a warm glow inside :) The calculator cost hundreds of pounds (see above). Does that count? (But I can move it around the screen and it rarely crashes :) Although, once it crashed on iteration number 1023, when I'd set my drawing hand to maxiter=1024 - boy, was that annoying! >How much money have you spent in the past five years on equipment for fractal >art?

Have you been neglecting your children >while you've been designing fractal artwork? > I've spent 23 thousand pounds on 'equipment' (that's a lot of pencils and paper - did I mention that I draw very fast. Rolf Harris eat you heart out!). Food? Clothing? C'mon... d'you realize how many pencils I can buy for the price of a pair of pizzas, or a sock and trouser? Children? I would give up all my fractal endeavours tomorrow if it meant that my ex would let me even see my son. Unfortunately it wouldn't. :( >Where did you live five years ago?

The only discord is the dark smoky areas on either side edge, lurking there like some omen of doom, ready to encroach on the hapless midget. When I imagined this overly sensational scenario, I named the picture "Encroaching Doom". The mathematical expression behind the scene is 10100(Z^100.5)+10.1(Z^0.1)+C, another ridiculous one that was calculated by the M-Mix4 formula. When I use this formula, which is most of the time, I generally enter parameters at random to see what kind of fractal they'll make. When I entered today's parameters, I expected nothing, and nothing is what appeared on the default screen. But the M-Mix4 formula is unusual in that the fractals often appear far from the origin. Luckily, I did an outzoom before abandoning the parameters, because when I did, I found the center of interest far to the left of the opening view. The color scheme was a lucky accident that happened a few seconds after I began cycling the 256 colors. I needed to touch up only a few registers before the picture was fit to be declared FOTD for March 21 and given a perhaps optimistic rating of 7. At a render time of 5 minutes, the parameter file is the slow way to view the picture. For those with better things to do with their time, the JPEG image may be found posted to: and to: The fractal weather today continued dull, dreary, damp and overcast, threatening rain all day but never delivering the goods until 9pm, when it began with a few ice pellets mixed in. The temperature of 46F (8C) earned the disapproval of the fractal cats, who promptly showed their displeasure by remaining indoors. Well, I guess it's time to shut down the fractal shoppe and call it another day. Until next time, take care, and yes, fractals are art.
