; FOTD -- May 15, 2008 (No Rating)
; 
; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
; 
; Due to the busy conditions here at Fractal Central, today's FOTD 
; is a very hasty one that deserves no rating.
; 
; The unusually fast image lies in the fractal that results when 
; the formula Z^(1.37)+C is iterated at level 1.37 of the complex 
; log ladder when no function is applied.
; 
; This parent fractal is shaped something like a garden mole 
; pulling itself halfway out of its burrow.  The mole's head 
; appears as a large period-2 bud, with a pointed snout.
; 
; Today's scene is located on a zigzag filament in a clump of 
; debris on the northeast shore of the main bay.  To add a bit of 
; interest, the image was rendered with the outside set to 'tdis'.
; 
; I named the image "Looping the Loop" for no good reason.
; 
; The fireball-fast calculation time of under 23 seconds is made 
; possible by the unusually small magnitude of 35.  And as always, 
; the finished image is available for immediate viewing on the 
; FOTD web site at:
; 
;        <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html>
; 
; Wednesday started sunny here at Fractal Central, but by noon the 
; sky had clouded over, and by late afternoon light rain had moved 
; in. The fractal cats observed all this with disinterest.  In my 
; department the day was unusually busy.  Thursday will be another 
; busy day, though not as hectic as Wednesday.  If all goes as 
; planned the next FOTD, as unimpressive as it might be, will be 
; posted in 24 hours.  Until then, take care, and search for good 
; fractal fortune.
