; FOTD -- July 10, 2006 (Rating 6)
; 
; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
; 
; The Z^1.5+C Mandeloid always has been one of my favorites.  (The 
; Mandelbrot set holds top spot.)  The Z^1.5+C is the most change-
; able of the Mandeloids with an exponent of Z between 1 and 2.  
; Today we examine this fractal as it appears at ground level of 
; the complex-logarithmic ladder.
; 
; In my opinion, at this level the Z^1.5+C Mandeloid resembles a 
; midget racing car.  At other levels it appears totally differ-
; ent.  Today's scene is located in the driver's shoulder, on the 
; northeast side of the fractal.
; 
; When rendered in the normal manner, with the inside set to 0 and 
; the outside set to 'iter', today's image is rather lifeless.  To 
; add a bit of excitement, I rendered it with the outside set to 
; 'fmod', which produces the star-like effect.
; 
; The curves and cusps that fill the image remind me of the pat-
; tern that is seen around street lights when one looks through a 
; rain droplet on a window at night.  This pattern inspired the 
; name "Window Droplet".  The rating of a 6 seems appropriate for 
; today's image.  Far better images will be needed before we can 
; reach the ratings of 8 or 9.
; 
; With a render time of just under 16 minutes, today's image is a 
; bit slow.  But relief for impatience is available on the FOTD 
; web site at:
; 
;        <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html>
; 
; The near perfect weather went unappreciated here at New Fractal 
; Central on Sunday.  The new fractal cats were more concerned 
; with chasing each other up and down the long hallway and explor-
; ing the nooks and crannies of the basement.  From what I hear 
; from Old Fractal Central, the ex-fractal cats are spending their 
; days sleeping, hanging out in the holly patch, and receiving 
; treats of tuna as they always did when their home was known as 
; Fractal Central.  My day was slightly busy -- just the way I 
; like it.  The next FOTD will appear in 24 hours.  Until then, 
; take care, and watch for the strange and unexplained events.
