Happy Holidays

I'm back to doing some work in Processing, actually building on some of the older work drawing trees. This is for my holiday e-card, some nice fractal snowflakes. Saw a program on PBS about the history of fractals that got me all excited about them again. This program uses L-Systems to draw the recursive bits, and as kind of a hack draws 3 Koch Curves to make each Snowflake.

Well, sort of a departure, but not really spending enough time on electronics recently to make much progress. This is a fun little distraction, not so unlike the Peter Pan series of photos.

Inspired by the small planets found here on Flickr and elsewhere. They reminded me of the Little Prince and I certainly wanted one of my own. I happened upon a sample panoramic video from PointGrey Research (ptgrey.com) and had to try this out.

I'll likely try a version where the buildings aren't so exaggerated next. Maybe shoot some of my own photos/video too.

Research

No Research! Really!

no, not really. Just none documented, and nicely displayed. Yet.
