A tangenital mix of blogliness, studying the effects of time, change, and chaos

Profile
A student in Colorado, looking for some sort of synthesis--the big picture, encompassing all the strangeness in the universe--but willing to settle for the philosophic or poetic lens.

Friday Fractal XXXII
Category: Fractals
Trying to merge a flame fractal with a Julia set and a 3D sphere was almost enough to make my computer have a thermonuclear meltdown.... or at the very least, run out of memory. With a little coaxing, however, I...

Paper Art
Category: Their Odd Creations
This guy is simply amazing. While my fractal art uses a computer to explore the fuzzy boundaries between a 2nd and 3rd dimension, Peter Callesen's art uses nothing more than standard paper--the very same sort you probably have sitting in...

...let's come up with some advice for the next president. It seems like everyone is passing the buck on climate change, these days. In his speech, President Bush spoke of future technologies, and called climate change a "serious problem". He...

Friday Fractal XXX*
Category: Fractals
Many things in nature seem to catch our eye, simply by hovering between a turbulent, chaotic mess, and a vacant, serene sense of order. Art tends to reflect these dichotomies in nature, even when it is fairly abstract in nature....

Randomness

Here's a collection of odd things I've run across in the last week or so. A fireball from space here, maps of the future there, general chaos everywhere, and someone riding the waves... just go with the flow. First, last...

Boulder Bound

I spent long enough thinking about my last entry, that I forgot to announce my news. I've been admitted to the University of Colorado at Boulder, in the Environmental Studies program. I still need to make a few contacts to...

I'd be hard pressed to choose a favorite from all of the fractals I've done as a Friday Feature. I started the feature in April of last year, after playing around with a fractal toy that a friend of mine...
