Digital fractal; again, the title come from the song of the same name, first recorded by Hoagy Carmichael.

I'll bet you'd never guess that I like fractals. And mandalas.

I believe I've mentioned once or twice that I'm fascinated by mandalas. Here's one I did last year. I can see that there will be more in the near future (i.e., as soon as finals are over).

Another fun fractal! This one reminds me of a nautilus shell, which puts me in mind of all the reading I've been doing about mandalas and circles and labyrinths and spirals. And that reminds me that I'd better get this paper finished! It's due in less than a week!
Cracked Glass

Another new fractal! This one reminds me of a broken stained glass window. Or possibly a spider web.
Traveling the Wormhole

By the name, you might be able to guess that I'm a huge fan of Stargate SG-1.
Space Colony

Another fun fractal creation! I was rearranging files and discovered a few fractals that I had yet to share with the world.
Dancing Goddess

This is another of those fractals that just kept getting more fun as I added layers. I think this one has at least 20 layers.
What’s Under the Water?

Another fractal... this one is kind of creepy. What exactly is that under the water? Is it an alien infestation, waiting patiently to take over the world? (Yes, I watch a lot of scifi and The X-Files.) Or is it the remains of a toxic waste dump? That's the joy of abstract art... you can decide for yourself. Ok, personally... I'm going with the alien story.

The middle reminds of some extremely cool marbles I had when I was a kid. Hmmm. Even then, I was a collector of "things" and a packrat. I don't seem to be having much luck changing that. The more I give things away, the more "stuff" comes into my life.

Here's another adjective to use when talking about fractals... soothing. Life outside Cyberspace (aka "real life") has been such that "insane" seems so inadequate a word. Perhaps I shall blog about it in Random Ramblings. And perhaps not.
Fractals are my drug of choice these days, actually beating out caffeine. Go fractals!

Fractals are one of my several obsessions. It pleases me to share them with you.
Colors, Shapes, Infinity
Benoit Mandelbrot...
coined the term "fractal" in 1975.
Many important spatial patterns of Nature are either irregular or fragmented to such an extreme degree that... classical geometry... is hardly of any help in describing their form. ... I hope to show that it is possible in many cases to remedy this absence of geometric representation by using a family of shapes I propose to call fractals... or fractal sets. [Mandelbrot, "Fractals," 1977]
