It's Fibonacci Day! Here's a fractal image based on the Fibonacci sequence. It's your typical Mandelbrot equation z ↦ zⁿ + z₀, but instead of a constant n=2, here n follows the Fibonacci sequence as the fractal iterations go up. Orbit trap of a ring, which […]

Northern Lights easily visible to the naked eye from Albuquerque, New Mexico! I thought the Sandias were named for the pink appearance of the mountains, not the sky...

I've got one more #mathober post - today's prompt is "recursion", and this by-hand construction of the Spiral of Theodorus seems sort of recursive. Just keep adding triangles over and over. The length of the hypotenuses are the square roots of 2 through 17 […]

I had to look up today's #mathober prompt, "odious", to see what it meant in a mathematical context. I learned that an "odious number" has an odd number of 1's in its binary representation. Then I wondered if anyone had extended that to other number bases […]

Managed to photograph Comet Lemmon tonight, October 18, an hour or so after sunset from Albuquerque New Mexico. From the northeast foothills looking toward Rio Rancho, so not the best low-light conditions, but it was easily seen with binoculars and the […]

I haven't been posting for #mathober, but have been messing with compass and straightedge constructions, colored in with something like watercolor or pencil. Today's prompt, "chord", seems to fit this construction of a pentagon, which involves placing 5 […]

I've been kicking this around in my head a little lately.

If #ai is supposed to be a democratizing force that will ultimately be no different from magic... When people say they are "learning AI" (as-in using AI tools) now so they are ahead in the future, what are they really saying? In the […]

Happy Pythagorean Squares Day! (9/16/25 = 3²/4²/5², a Pythagorean Triple). Here's a visualization of the smaller two numbers of a set of Pythagorean triples. Values were found using Euclid's formula with n and m the integers up to 100 and k up to 25. Color […]

All set up for this weekend's Sandia Heights Artists Studio Tour in Albuquerque, New Mexico. It's the one in-person show I do with my algorithmic and fractal art. If you're in New Mexico this Saturday or Sunday, stop by and say hi! […]

New Mexico is overriding the federal government on the topic of COVID19 vaccines to ensure their residents can access them.

States hold a tremendous amount of public health power. They should use it.

Why, yes, of course I wrote code to convert text glyphs into orbit traps for fractals. Notice the outline of a 4th order Mandelbrot set.

Well thanks, Sparkfun. Now I had to spend my morning updating Schemdraw to correct the DB9 vs DE9 name in its circuit element library, and add several other D-sub connectors. 😀

I made some "Human Intelligence" and "No Cookies" icons for my website, and am releasing them as public domain (CC0) for anyone who wants to use them (and who doesn't use generative AI to make their content).

Got a new batch of fractal prints going into mats, getting ready for the Sandia Heights Artists Tour. I'll be sad when the Kodak Endura Metallic photo paper finally runs out of stock after being discontinued - it makes the fractals shine!

My wife stumbled across her dad's old Instamatic camera, and discovered it still had film in it, which we worked out has been in the camera since at least 1983. Found a local place that still develops 126 Kodacolor cartridges (Picture Perfect Photo Lab […]

Today I took the plunge and installed GrapheneOS on my Pixel 9, after weeks of experimenting with it on an abandoned 4a. Happy to report the Square app for taking credit card payments, which I expected to be a deal-breaker, seems to work just fine (that was with the bluetooth chip reader). I […]
