These headlines from the future make for good reading. hehe.
President Howard Dean vowed to continue pursuing the missing terrorists, but Richard Perl, Donald Rumsfeld et al. are still at large, being hidden by members of anti-Government militias in remote regions of the mountain states. The cabal took flight following the shocking 2009 discovery that “George W. Bush” was a humanoid robot loosely modeled on a combination of George H. W. Bush and former Indiana Senator Dan Quayle….
Don’t look at this page if you tend to get migrane as some of the images here will probably set off a major headache if you look at them too long! These optical illusions look great, and I wonder why all those demo coders spent so long doing mandelbrots and full-screen anims. They could have simply used an optical illusion and let the viewers eyes do the work!

There’s a distinct difference between fractal and raster images. Raster images are the jpeg and gif files you see all over the place. These don’t resize very well. Fractals are made up of mathematical descriptions of the objects in a scene or picture. Using these descriptions it’s possible to resize an image without losing any detail or introducing blocky artifects. (Feel free to comment if I have anything wrong above!)
Apparently Genuine Fractals from Lizardtech, enables you to create resolution-independent images from any size file and lets you print superior quality enlargements without any degradation in image quality.
