			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I stumbled upon a new fractal gallery today. Being a fractal fiend this excited me greatly and I spent a very enjoyable lunchbreak listening to &#8220;Wish you were here&#8221; by Pink Floyd and contemplating the fractal colours and compositions. If I had a beard, stroking it whilst studying the fractals would have been an excellent touch.</p>

<p>One of the Fractals is pictured above, they have been created by Melissa D. Binde and her website is <a target="_blank" href="http://www.fractality.com/">fractality.com</a>. <a href="http://tech.petegraham.co.uk/2007/01/15/and-fractals-for-all/">Heres a link</a> to my last post about fractals.</p>

For those of you that don’t know what Fractals are Mandelbrot the king of fractals defined them as this:
&#8220;a rough or fragmented geometric shape that can be subdivided in parts, each of which is (at least approximately) a reduced/size copy of the whole&#8221;

<p>For those of you that don’t know what Fractals are Mandelbrot the king of fractals defined them as this:<br />
<em>&#8220;a rough or fragmented geometric shape that can be subdivided in parts, each of which is (at least approximately) a reduced/size copy of the whole&#8221;</em></p>
<p><em><img src="http://tech.petegraham.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2007/01/contrast.png" /></em><br />
Sven Geier has created some excellent fractal based artwork which he has put up on his site <a target="_blank" href="http://www.its.caltech.edu/~sgeier/">Fractal Bargin Bin</a> and is encouraging people to do what they want with them!</p>
<p>I have used one of the fractals for the headers background texture on my <a href="http://blog.petegraham.co.uk">Peteamania blog</a>.</p>
<p>If you have a decent quality colour printer why not try printing some of them off and framing them, they make excellent retro-futuristic artwork. Then next time someone is coming round your house make sure your sitting in a chair listening to prog-rock and staring at your framed fractal. When they come in tell your visitor “oh you just caught me expanding my mind”, this is guaranteed to get you noticed as a intellectual and eccentric gentleman.</p>
