; ---------
; 
; FOTD -- July 10, 2014 (Rating A-7,M-6)
; 
; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
; 
; Today's polka-dotted image lies in the parent fractal that 
; results when three negative parts of Z^(-2.3) are combined with 
; one negative part of Z^(-7.7) and (1/C) is added on each 
; iteration.  The resulting fractal is a sprawling thing with a 
; main bay that resembles Mickey Mouse lying on his right side.  
; Today's scene is located in a filament extending from a lump on 
; Mickey's right ear.
; 
; The art rates a 7; the math rates a 6.  There have been far 
; better images in FOTD history, and we have been to this part of 
; the world of fractal math many times before.
; 
; The name "Spots Before the Eyes" simply describes the overall 
; impression of the image.  Calculating the scene with the logmap 
; reset to zero and the outside set to 'tdis' eliminates some of 
; the spottiness, but brings little improvement to the overall 
; appearance of the image.
; 
; Perhaps the best feature of today's FOTD is its unusually brief 
; calculation time of 30 seconds, which is quite surprising 
; especially considering the image's magnitude of over 10^12.  The 
; web sites are always there to eliminate any residual impatience.
; 
; The finished image is posted online at:

; 
; Near perfect weather prevailed here at Fractal Central today.  
; Near perfection is defined as partly cloudy skies, lower 
; humidity and a temperature of 82F 28C.  The two fractal cats 
; enjoyed the conditions to the most of their cat ability, while 
; the fractal humans, with other things to do, paid little 
; attention to the outside conditions.
; 
; The next FOTD will be posted in a day or so.  A FOTD posting 
; every other day seems to be becoming the new FOTD normal, but 
; this is not a permanent change in the schedule.  Until whenever, 
; take care, and there were several tornadoes in the local area 
; two days ago.  Believe it or not, the number of resulting power 
; outages made bigger news than the damage and deaths caused by 
; the storm.  Even today the outages are still the top local 
; story.  When a few days without electricity and the resulting 
; unendurable disconnection from the rest of the world is seen as 
; a greater disaster than the deaths of five people, I begin to 
; suspect we have become a bunch of underactive overweight tech-
; addicts who are much too fascinated with and dependent on the 
; latest hi-tech gadgets.
