Fractal Art

Right now, I'm really into fractal art. You can see from my works on my deviantART such as http://300pockets.deviantart.com/art/Sky-Shield-115309469 . I use Apophysis 2.02, and although it takes a bit of tweeking to make fractals that look good. I'll always recolor them and adjust the levels in PhotoShop though. I tried out UltraFractal and couldn't figure it out at all, but maybe I need to spend more time on it?

My favorite thing about making fractals is that they look cool and require less time and energy than it takes to make other forms of art. Mine aren't that special or unique, but I like them because they're complex looking but simple at the same time.

Something else I learned while making this post:

I've been tagging my posts incorrectly and have to go back and retag them with " , " instead of "((space))".

Mario Kart Love Song

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VDBpQVhCMb8

"V1:
You be my princess
I'll be your toad
I'll follow behind you
on rainbow road
Protect you from red shells
wherever we go
I promise.

V2:
Noone will touch us
if we pick up a star
If you spin out
you can ride in my car
When we slide together
we generate sparks
in our wheels and our hearts

Chorus:
The finish line
is just around the bend
I'll pause this game
so our love will never end
Let's go again

V3:
The blue shell is coming
so I'll go ahead
If you hang behind
it'll hit me instead
but never look back
cause I'm down but not dead
I'll catch up to you

Bridge:
Don't worry about
Bowser or DK
Eat this glowing mushroom
and they'll all fade away

Chorusx2

to the mushroom cup
and the flower cup
and the star cup
and the reverse cup

walalalalala
walalalalalawaluigiiiiii"

It's a beautiful song. I cried. Listen to it, go buy it.

Internet Explorer Anti-Trust

http://blogs.zdnet.com/microsoft/?p=2137

tl;dr people are suing Microsoft for bundling Internet Explorer with their operating systems.

Here's my question.

How are you going to get a non-Internet Explorer browser if you can't get on the Internet because you don't have a browser on the computer? There's no way Microsoft can use another browser, because then that browser would have the monopoly. Using random browsers would cause incompatibility issues. Users would have to go to a store to buy an internet installation disc, and by then? It's too much trouble.
