Making Fractals

Daily Gibberish| 3 Comments »

You really don't have to be a pro to make absolutely outstanding fractals with this free program from Apophysis.org.  Makes ya just wanna grab a bong and stare at the beauty that is color and chaos.  I made a set on Flickr several years ago, and tonight I found the program again and downloaded it.  Good fun, I tell ya.  I would love to see some you make.

Fractal: 

  1. A geometric pattern that is repeated at ever smaller scales to produce irregular shapes and surfaces that cannot be represented by classical geometry. Fractals are used especially in computer modeling of irregular patterns and structures in nature.

Walking (carefully)

blackberry, Daily Gibberish| 5 Comments »

Today I took my weenie for a walk.  We walked one mile, and I had to carry him part of the way because his tongue was falling out of his mouth.  Anyway, I took my BlackBerry with me just in case I took another fall like last year, but the walk was so pretty that I took pics along the way.  I forgot my options were set to Black & White, but I love the results even if it’s a camera phone. 

12 Minutes on Twitter

Don't you just love it?  You're minding your own business, then you get an Gmail notification that someone added you on Twitter!  YAY!  Who is it?

Oh.  -.-

It's someone named "Ironweee" and I have no f*cking idea who it is.  Well, I have a clue.  I mean what is the DEAL with people who do this?  For shits and grins I followed "Jenny Phillips" for 12 minutes on Twitter.  No, not really "followed" per se.  I stalked, because I immediately "blocked" her, and hells yes, I'm cool with that!

Here is the Gmail invite.  0 followers, 0 updates, following 114 people:

Within TWELVE MINUTES she was following 950 people, and she changed her name from Jenny Phillips to:

Francis King,
Stephanie Rodriguez,
Stephanie Clark, AK,
Lucy Ray, NY,
Marge Mitchell, DE
Sharon Campbell, Earth
Angela Hughes, AZ
Virginia Sanchez, Nowhere
Caroline Russell, Paradise
Kathleen Campbell, Smallville
Shirley Hall, FL
Marge Gibson, DE
Madeline Perry, MA
Sarah Hegarty, Happy Land
Cynthia Edwards, SC

Will someone please explain this to me?  It's mind boggling.

The Millennium Building

Daily Gibberish| 1 Comment »

Still on my journey to nowhere yesterday, I finally stopped and shot this glass and granite monster located in Addison, TX.  I have always loved the architectural angle where if you look at it straight on, you really can't tell that the circle on the top doesn't go all the way around.  Whizzing by on the tollway, it demands your attention - or from most any block within 20 you can see the top.  I've seen this building in all kinds of weather and it's always beautiful.

DALLAS, Oct. 29 /PRNewswire/ — At ceremonies today, Clyde C. Jackson, Jr., president of Dallas-based Wynne/Jackson, Inc., and Jim Lozier, president of Archon Group, L.P., broke ground on MILLENNIUM, a one million-square-foot, master-planned office and hotel development located on an eight-acre site at the northwest corner of Dallas Parkway and Arapaho Road. Phase I of the project includes a 14-story, 375,000-square-foot granite and glass, Class A+ office tower with a seven-level, 1,350-space, adjoining parking garage. Completion for Phase I is scheduled for November 1999.

A Diversion

Daily Gibberish| No Comments »

I went on an excursion to help me get my mind off something today, and I clicked a few pics.  Here's one of them from a park very near my place.  The weather was very dreary and it was raining on me most of the time, but today I didn't seem to mind too much because dreary weather is often times beautiful.  Besides that, I gave up on having a good hair day about a month ago when the rain set in.

I really like the colors in this photo most of all.  They're so dreadfully gloomy.
