Saint Patrick's Day equations.

#genuary27 - Lifeform. This is another fractal with an organic look. It makes me think of some sort of plant encountered by the crew of the Enterprise in Star Trek.

For #genuary21, "Bauhaus Poster", I attempted to reuse typical Bauhaus color theme and shapes, applying texture with SVG filters.

The #genuary23 prompt is Transparency. Applying a transparency channel to a otherwise typical orbit trap fractal leads to some interesting effects. Might need to explore this one more later.

I made a little extension to my Python-based LaTeX math renderer so it can be used to draw equations and Sympy expressions directly in the terminal as sixel graphics. Install with `pip install sixelmath` and give it a try! (in a sixel-supported terminal, of course).

#genuary24 - Perfectionist Nightmare. I explored several ideas for this one, where a regular grid has just a bit of randomness to make it slightly "off". The result reminds me of the tiles in my bathroom.

For #genuary26, Recursive Grid, I went with a pretty minimalist pattern where each square is subdivided into 4 smaller squares.

#genuary25 - Organic Geometry. My favorite fractals are the ones that appear organic, like this one that reminds me of a growing vine.

I've often been tempted to get a pen plotter, but haven't quite taken the plunge. For #genuary22 I did some experiments with overlapping Archimedean spirals, that could eventually be used with a pen-plotter. I find the spirals interesting since their radius is non-constant, so lining up the tangent circles becomes challenging. I still need to explore the Browne and van Wamelen paper on spiral packing - here they were just placed by brute force.

This #genuary20 "One Line" artwork is made of a single line fractal.

For, #Genuary19, a 16 x 16 grid of points is iterated through the Mandelbrot fractal equation and the paths of the points traced with smooth curves.

Manager on Tuesday: For this week's department meeting, we have a guest speaker to talk about boosting your group creativity through brainstorming.

Team on Wednesday: We need to come up with a good name for this new thing we're working on.

Manager: Did you try asking AI?

True story. *sigh*

After nearly 2.5 years of daily use, the battery in my #system76 Lemur Pro (lemp12) was running about 50% capacity, so I decided it was time to replace. I ordered a replacement directly from System76, and while it cost a bit more, I'm more confident it's not a fake that will burn my house down, plus I'd rather support a small business than the billionaire corporations. The hardest part of installing was getting the old battery out - it had perhaps a bit too much foam tape holding it in - but their recommendation of using a credit card as a knife, plus using dental floss to cut the foam from both sides, worked pretty well. Otherwise it was easy, and now I'm back to 8-10 hours of battery life.
