; FOTD -- March 02, 2005 (Rating 5)
; 
; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
; 
; Today's Julibrot image pictures an Oblate view of a midget that 
; lies on the negative stem of the Mandelbrot set, very near the 
; point where the stem joins the main body of the M-set.  The 
; next five FOTD images will also show Oblate views of the Z^2+C 
; Julibrot.
; 
; Mandelbrot midgets, or atoms, as they are sometimes called, are 
; shaped like miniature versions of the Mandelbrot set.  Julia 
; 'midgets' are shaped like miniature versions of the particular 
; Julia set in which they lie.  Oblate 'midgets', which may be 
; better described as holes, have no definite shape.  Sometimes 
; they look like Julia sets, at other times, such as in today's 
; image, they have no definite shape, and resemble stretched and 
; distorted, almost tortured bits of perturbed M-sets.  Oblate 
; midgets can never resemble intact Mandelbrot midgets however.
; 
; Today's rather unsettling image reminds me of a face that has 
; just witnessed a horrible scene.  I have named it "Something 
; Horrible".  The parameter file renders in under 4 minutes, and 
; when the rendering is finished, the resulting image has a 
; rating of an average 5.
; 
; Rendering may be avoided by downloading the ghastly image from 
; the not-at-all-ghastly FOTD web site at:
; 
;        <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html>
; 
; Don't give up hope, philosophy fans.  The next outburst of 
; philosophy will appear in the near future.
; 
; The temperature reached 39F 4C here at Fractal Central on 
; Tuesday, but the yard remained snow covered, keeping the fractal 
; cats confined to the porch.  They spent over an hour lounging in 
; the sun, which is just now starting to clear the holly trees at 
; the bottom of the yard.  They must have been satisfied with 
; their time outside, for the normal evening serving of tuna kept 
; them happy.  Unfortunately, today is starting notably colder 
; with high wind, and the cats' happiness is in doubt.
; 
; The work in my department is normal.  I should be finished soon 
; enough to leave ample time for the fractals, the next of which 
; will appear in 24 hours.  Until then, take care, and regardless 
; of how hard one searches, they will never find the fourth 
; dimension of space.
