Realtime Mandelbrot Fractal Generation

Now you can explore the wonders of fractals with this online generator. I’m with Revo of Ektopia on this one, I used to sit in front of my Commodore 64 and wait for hours as a short fractal zoom loop slowly rendered on the screen. After I moved to the PC platform I did the same thing with Fractint. Now there was a program!

Evil Dead, The Musical

Evil Dead the MusicalI’m not normally a fan of musicals. In fact I tend to avoid them at all costs. However, I will make an exception for one that is based on the Sam Raimi film ‘The Evil Dead‘. Now the show closes on Feb 17 so you have to act fast if you want to see it. It’s in New York so it might be a bit of a walk for some of you, others it’s just a plane flight away.

Spaceship Serenity Paper Model

I found this beautiful paper model of the spaceship from the science fiction TV series ‘Firefly‘. I just started watching the DVDs yesterday so I naturally was looking around the ‘Net for more info on the show. It’s pretty good, pity that it was axed so quickly by Fox, but I guess everyone says that.
The ship looks like a pretty complex build, it has more detail that you would expect, it even has the ambassadors  shuttle craft.
