FRACTALS!

I went to Arts Adventures tonight and we saw the fractal show at the Natural History Museum, and it was AWESOME!  The fractals were amazing and I learned a ton about how you can minutely change the formulas causing the fractal turns out completely different, it's amazing.  My favorite one was the fractal that he made that he changed the exponent from 2 to 2.001  It changed the whole composition.  I absolutely loved it, and the music was awesome.  We were in the first row leaning back and looking up, and the music had so much bass that it vibrated all the seats.  When you were in there it was like you were actually moving, it was really cool!  Afterward I felt drained, and I had a headache. I got to meet the man who did it, and he is a PhD that owns the Fractal organization.  He’s a nerd, but a very, very smart one, and surprisingly he has good social skills.  I talked to him and saw his fractal tie and asked him where he got it, and he told me he designed it.  I told him my dad would love one, because he loves Gerry Garcia ties, and that's all he buys.  He told me they were $30 each, so I'm getting dad one or two for Christmas, and maybe for one other person too (I'm not saying who). 

Now I want to go to the website to download the software to make the fractals because it's free!
