Making sense of space-time
Adding Minkowski options in my Voronoi page made me realize that I really wasn’t sure how to interpret the results, and that I’d always been puzzled thinking about the zero distance between points of the light cone means. Reading: Where Is Now? The Paradox Of the Present made a few things snap into place for me. We…

Visual studio 11 and javascript
I want to switch to it right now. I’ve just been testing it out for a few hours and it is faster and the UI is much smoother than any of the previous visual studios in the past 10 years. Getting the intellisense for the 2d canvas object is nice. Related Images:

I hadn’t thought of stacking multiple iterations on top of each other
I just stumbled on these IFS renderings on art from code. They produce a really nice effect. Related Images:

Now there is a web app for creating your own Mondrian style creations. http://www.compositionwithjavascript.com/ What really struck me was how quickly things go off the rails. It…

I’ve got to hand it to IE 9.0 beta
Or then again, maybe not. IE9 is currently the best browser for viewing these images. Chrome keeps crashing after 2 minutes or so, but IE is rock solid running for hours. However, it totally lost the content for this post. It looks like all the script libraries are going to need some upgrades to handle…

Visual complexity
Visual complexity is a bad ass site. It introduced me to the term generative art and reawakened my interest in exploring it myself. I fell in love with the mathematics and images of fractals that exploded in the eighties. One of my favorite books in high school was chaos by James Gleick. The pictures were…
