; FOTD -- January 03, 2007 (Rating 7)
; 
; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
; 
; Electricity is a form of energy.  I will not speculate about 
; what energy is, other than saying that it infuses the universe.  
; Numbers also hold a mysterious force, and this force can reveal 
; its presence in the form of fractals.  Today's image appears 
; quite energetic to me, full of numerical forces and well worth 
; the name "The Fractal Electric".
; 
; The generating expression mixes various portions of Z^(-1.1) and 
; Z^(-7.4) then adds (1/C) to create a hugely bloated parent 
; fractal shaped like a figure eight.  Today's scene is located 
; near a sinuous lightning bolt shooting out from one of the 
; valleys separating the two lobes of the figure eight.
; 
; With its curvilinear lightning bolts, the image is unusual 
; enough to rate at least a 7.  If I had been in a more liberal 
; mood, I might have rated it an 8.  The relatively short render 
; time of 3-1/2 minutes will seem like 30 seconds once the image 
; starts to appear.  Those who depend on over-qualified computers 
; may see the image by visiting the FOTD web site at:
; 
;        <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html>
; 
; and downloading the scene from there.
; 
; A brilliantly sunny but brisk day with a temperature of 43F 6C 
; on Tuesday went un-noticed by the fractal cats who dwell here at 
; Fractal Central.  With the holidays past, the dynamic duo is 
; getting back into its normal everyday routine, and soon will 
; have forgotten all about presents and gift wrappings.  My day 
; was unexceptional.  The next FOTD will appear in 24 hours.  
; Until then, take care, and have fun.
