In between scanning pictures of drunks I've been working on the Graver cartoon by generating fractals for the background. sciencequeen, I figured you'd like to see it before I blur it and otherwise mangle it for the cartoon:



Damn is it ever easier to make these things now than what I used to go through in the early 1990's. Pardon me while I thumb through my old copy of "Dynamical systems and fractals: Computer graphics experiments in Pascal" by Karl-Heinz Becker and Michael Dörfler... Jeez... I used to actually understand more math than what it takes to do my taxes. These days it's been so long since I've done anything beyond junior-high level arithmetic I'd have to look up how to factor a polynomial. Sad.

My fiance never played that game, and it makes me very sad. I made it to Oregon once. There was some rafting dealy where you had to avoid hitting rocks and floating logs as you went down a river.

Once... I died of a broken bone.
