; FOTD -- January 09, 2007 (Rating 6)
; 
; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
; 
; Today's image came about when I calculated the Z^(1.5874)+C 
; fractal at a level 34 turns down the complex logarithmic ladder. 
; The number 1.5874 is the cube root of 4, though this has nothing 
; to do with the appearance of the parent fractal.
; 
; This parent fractal is a very recognizable Mandeloid standing on 
; its head, with a curiously distorted large period-2 bud.  
; Today's image is located in the fractal chaos surrounding this 
; period-2 bud.
; 
; I chose this image to be the FOTD because the pattern around the 
; midget at the center is unusually interesting.  Most midgets in 
; fractals in this range appear as centers of discontinuities, 
; with explosive-like features radiating outward.  The pattern 
; surrounding the midget in today's image actually tries to do 
; something different.
; 
; After not-so-careful consideration, I rated the image at a 6, 
; which is just slightly above FOTD average.  I do not comment on 
; how the FOTD average compares to the average in the wider world 
; of fractals.
; 
; The name I chose for the image, "Forever Flappable", has no 
; connection at all to the image.  It is simply a nonsense phrase 
; that came to mind as I studied it.
; 
; The calculation time of 3-1/2 minutes is fast enough for an 
; average fractal.  An even faster way to see the image is to 
; visit the FOTD web site at:
; 
;        <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html>
; 
; and view the fractal scene there.
; 
; Early morning rain on Monday here at Fractal Central gave way to 
; a clearing afternoon with strong winds and a temperature of a 
; mild 46F 8C.  The fractal cats, who do not concern themselves 
; with weather, were unusually quiet most of the day.
; 
; My day had nothing out of the ordinary happen.  The next FOTD 
; will appear in 24 hours.  Until then, take care, and be one of 
; them.
