#Selfish!
Well, looks like we have a lot to talk about!
But, I don't think I can make much sense at this time (sunlight is starting to
reflect of my screen, and the TV is starting with kiddie shows, where did the
time go?).
I just finishing uploading something I mentioned before. A FLC made out of
screen-captures of a 3D graph, as EXCEL iterates and the graph changes. Really
neat! Looks like an animal breathing!
You got me beat, there was no way I could have kept all the issues of my
magazines. I start throwing away every other one eventually. But I have lots of
early, or first issues. I claim not to throw away anything (assuming kitchen
scrap didn't count), but I guess, you're making me reconsider what the phrase
means.There is hardly room to walk through my house as it is!
While you've got your 78 Byte's out, I did another cover and article that same
year, in April. Those were the only two I did for them. They wanted stuff on
fractals next and a review of Mandelbrot's just published book (I was playing
with Mandelbrot then, I had seen his fractal on the cover of Scientific
American and called him up with a couple questions. That started a 4-month
project. I was satisfied when I came up with a simpler fractal than the one
used on the cover.). I got a letter from Mandelbrot when I left IBM in July of
last year ("are you leaving IBM, or is IBM leaving us").
I just got the file on the above (see I keep everything too). I was talking
about the April 78 issue of Scientific American. Rambling along, my Scientific
American collection goes back to the 50s, and I got the bound volumes from
the IBM library as they were done with them. I keep a 4-Meg index to Scientific
American on my PC. It has got to be the best magazine ever!
Well, I hope the above makes sense.
I'll download your file tomorrow. What triggered you to draw it in '92, so long
after the book was published. Color cycling worms! Inspired by my color cycled
bugs?
What's AME (besides, maybe, Assoc. of Mech. Engineers?),
Of course, Escher is one of my future animation projects. Guess, now it won't
be a surprise. A guy climbing up the steps and never geting anywhere, that's
going to be a challenge.
I'll look over your later again tomorrow to see if I missed anything.
(I guess my definition of tomorrow needs to change also, I just realize I've
really meant later today when I've used the word).
