; FOTD -- May 20, 2003 (Rating 8)
; 
; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
; 
; Today's image, with its infestation of tiny dot-like areas of 
; chaos, rates an 8.  In my opinion at least, it is an exceptional 
; image, perhaps the best yet to come from the May parent fractal.
; 
; The scene is located in a disconnected area of chaos in the left 
; part of the parent fan, at a point in a vague spiral where two 
; rings almost touch.  The trip back out to the surface of the 
; parent will reveal all these features and is quite amusing.  But 
; be sure to reset the logmap to 0 before starting the trip.
; 
; The image's name "Vision Obious" is the name of an old computer 
; animation from the 1980's.  I forget who created the original 
; animation, though an internet search will probably turn it up in 
; some library somewhere.  For some reason the image reminds me of 
; this animation, though I can't say why.  And no, the word 
; 'obious' is not a mis-spelling of 'obvious'.
; 
; Usually, the better images take the longest time to render, but 
; today's image is an exception to that rule.  Not only is it 
; better, it is faster as well.  It renders in less than 9 minutes 
; on my Pentium-200 machine.  On newer faster machines it will 
; render in even less time.
; 
; The fastest way of all to view the image is to download it from 
; the internet.  It is available on Paul's web site, which can be 
; accessed at:
; 
;           <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html>
; 
; and on Scott's site at:
; 
;           <http://sdboyd.dyndns.org/~sdboyd/fotd/index.html>
; 
; The weather was absolutely perfect here at Fractal Central on 
; Monday.  Nothing but blue sky and sun was visible from morning 
; until evening, and the temperature of 72F 22C was all a duo of 
; fractal cats could ask for.  Being fractal in nature, the duo 
; took full advantage of the ideal conditions, spending almost six 
; hours alternating between porch and yard.
; 
; This morning, unfortunately, the clouds in advance of the next 
; rain are already on the horizon.  The duo might get in one more 
; pleasant day, but after today, no more sun or dry weather is 
; expected until next week sometime.  Regardless of the weather, 
; the work goes on however.  And it's time to get busy.  So until 
; next FOTD, take care, and everything is ultimately chaotic in 
; nature.
