Just my way of saying I'm jealous.; 8/13/12, 10:29 PM

Mixing pigments as a kid, blue and yellow made green, but not so with light where blue and yellow make lighter blue and green and red make yellow. It's not very intuitive, IMHO.; 8/13/12, 10:30 PM

Since Quaestor gifted us with a Fluke Venn diagram, here are some Julia set fractals.; 8/14/12, 3:37 AM

for which I am now appropriately grateful.; 8/14/12, 5:39 AM
