I'd like to know what other interests people on this forum have besides fractals... Do you use any other forums regularly? Do you have a favourite website? What also interests you? art, astronomy, history? Do you have any hobby projects? Do you have any of your own web pages or blogs?  |

Cool topic! Other art: Music: Flute & sax (aka Audio fractals) Painting: Mostly painting Fractals & patterns Other Interests: General reading about science of all types (biology, astronomy, physics, etc.) Geometry (platonic, n-dimensional & of course fractal) Jazz Music: Coltrane, Sun-Ra, Rahsaan Roland Kirk, Charlie Parker, Eric Dolphy ... Website: just a bunch of random stuff and a big section on fractals http://www.miqel.com http://www.miqel.com/fractals_math_patterns/visual_math_varieties.htmlFave TV show of all time: Mystery Science Theater 3000 (MST3Kinfo.com is the only other forum I participate in regularly) Job: Website design, Flash-based business or sales presentations and SEO Fractal Paintings "Mandelbrot Horizon" Acrylic on particle board  "Quasi Mandelbrot variation"  I also run a myspace page for the eccentric & under-appreciated artist Paul Laffoley, who often includes fractals in his visionary paintings. Beautiful works! "Mellonchron" 1985 - 73.5 x 73.5 in. Oil, Acrylic and hand-placed vinyl lettering.  http://www.myspace.com/paullaffoley |

That's great I'm gonna start reading your blog. Also, nice paintings miqel, and your website is HUGE, so much to see "Do you have a favourite website?" I like www.michaelmoore.com, he always has something interesting to say "What also interests you? art, astronomy, history?" Mostly mathematics and physics, I just read 'cycles of time' by Roger Penrose. One of my favourite books is "the selfish gene" by Richard Dawkins. "Do you have any hobby projects?" Not at the moment, but was recently learning webGL/html5/javascript to make 3d shared scenes in a web browser "Do you have any of your own web pages or blogs?" Mandelbox page- http://sites.google.com/site/mandelbox/ Classifying fractals based on their shape- https://sites.google.com/site/simplextable/home Comment on any news story- http://tglad.powweb.com/newscomment.php A blog of my unusual ideas in maths and physics- http://tglad.blogspot.com/ |

"What other interests do you have?" Lissa.  "Do you have a favourite website?" Lissa's now retired "Modeling" website.  "What also interests you? art, astronomy, history?" Art - Fractalized Images of Lissa.  Astronomy - The Stars Lissa makes me see.  History - History began in 2006, when I met Lissa!  "Do you have any hobby projects?" Planning my upcoming Wedding to Lissa!!  "Do you have any of your own web pages or blogs?" Sockrateaze.com - right now the public bits are just hosting a dead forum for my friends in the 3D Software world, but it has a lot of Naughty Behind The Scenes uses I can't go into in a family-friendly forum  |

I'd like to know what other interests people on this forum have besides fractals... 1) Do you use any other forums regularly? 2) Do you have a favourite website? 3) Do you have any hobby projects? 1) 3d-board.de and renderosity.com 2) fractalforums.com 3) currently trying some 3D rendering in Poser, Vue 9 and Carrara 8. I have to admit though that I seldom stick to new hobbies for more than a year. some quick fun with Poser faces:

I don't frequent the interblag very often, just to check out this forum mostly. I like to read(about everything). In fact I just finished a condensed version of the quadrivium. For a hobby I collect old books. I'm in 4 advanced placement classes, so I am usually quite tired. P.S Congratulations to Sockratease on his upcoming nuptials.  |

I'm a classic nerdy geek so apart from programming and fractalling my other interests are mainly reading and watching TV and films - reading generally sci-fi/fantasy (e.g. The Wheel of Time, Chronicles of Thomas Covenant, Dune, The Mote in God's Eye, Aeon, Eternity, Heliconia, actually probably over 400 sci-fi books/book series) TV/Films - sci-fi, fantasy,comedy and detective/mystery. Also I like real ale e.g. Old Roger(really a barley wine), Three Tuns Ale, Alba, Ebulum, Erdinger etc. and good food - I'm a pretty good cook/chef when I get time  |

"Do you use any other forums regularly?" I used to spend hours on http://www.club911.net but I sold my 993 3 years ago  (hence my nickname bib993 in some other places) "Do you have a favourite website?" FF of course  "What also interests you? art, astronomy, history?" Spending good time with my family, good food, popularized scientific books, sci-fi, music listening (various styles) and programming (drum machines), golf, travels, I used to play video games a lot, everything that links sciences and arts.  "Do you have any hobby projects?" Preparing my 1st fractal exhibition (announcement to be done very soon)  Quit smoking "Do you have any of your own web pages or blogs?" My Youtube channel featuring almost 200 fractal videos I did in the last 2 years: www.youtube.com/user/bib993And I recently created a deviantart profile: http://bib993.deviantart.com/  |

some online-game forum. Do you have a favourite website? Google reader (for my rss  ) What also interests you? art, astronomy, history? astronomy, music, neural network, database, linux, IT in general. Do you have any hobby projects? A lot of computer related hobby, some electronics soon, and RC helicopter. Do you have any of your own web pages or blogs? in my signature But 99% of my pro and spare time is computer related |

Guess I should have looked at the first entry in the thread Do you use any other forums regularly?
I check the following regularly (though not all are forums): http://www.woosie.net/fracfan/http://www.fractalforums.com/http://makinmagic.deviantart.com/http://www.youtube.com/user/MakinMagicFractalsPlus the sci.fractals newsgroup and my Facebook pages: http://en-gb.facebook.com/people/David-Makin/100000162663293http://www.facebook.com/pages/Makin-Magic-Fractals/115292188862and of course the Ultra Fractal mailing list. Do you have a favourite website?
Here, YouTube, DA, R'osity, BBC iPlayer, itvPlayer, 4oD, five.tv, Amazon. What also interests you? art, astronomy, history?
Maths, programming, science, philosophy, good beer, good food..... Do you have any hobby projects?
Only fractal/fractal art related Do you have any of your own web pages or blogs?

Nice idea for a topic Tom! The problem is that I'm interested in many things. That creates another problem and that is the fact that there are too little hours in a day. And quite a lot of them are consumed by work. Or travelling to and fro... A thing I will never give up (well, at least as long as I pass my medicals...) is gliding  (This is not me by the way ), which I have been doing for more then 25 years. There's one other forum I frequent regularly and that is, not surprisingly, a glider pilot forum  In between gliding (summer) and mistreating M3D (winter), I also like to occasionally deform precious metals into stuff that looks shiny. My main hobby project is trying to keep up with Dutch (and f**king European) legislation around my glider and my glider pilot licenses and buying loads of useless and expensive equipment that I don't but they do want in my cockpit as well as completely rewriting my maintenance programs every 2 years because some awesome dude in Brussels thinks that aircraft safety is directly proportional to the amount of paper that is generated every year (if you think you hear a little frustration in this statement, there may be some truth in that perception...). I do have my own website, actually my own domain, but since it's not related to fractal art in any way, I'm sure it is of no interest whatsoever to anyone who'se reading this post |

Wow, gliding must be awesome... though the one in the picture kind of looks like it is going to crash! Trifox, break dancing! I hope you've watched the movies breakin', and breakin' 2 electric boogaloo. David, I like the classic sci-fi too, have you read 'dragon's egg' that was good. cbuchner, those 20 funny faces are freaky!!! like the girl(?) is possessed  |

I'd like to know what other interests people on this forum have besides fractals... Do you use any other forums regularly? No not regularly. As a diversion i go on Global Consciousness sometimes, and Ancient Hebrew language sites, sometimes.Do you have a favourite website? Microbeworld at the moment.What also interests you? art, astronomy, history? All three as they relate to science and philosophy and maths in particular. You missed out Music and Dance. I love dance.    Do you have any hobby projects? Once a friend described my Maths research as my Hobby. But it is much more serious than that !  Do you have any of your own web pages or blogs? No. I have no blogs! or any web pages. Cool! I am autistic and according to some that makes me lazy! When i say some i mean my wife! and when i say according to i mean an alternative description by!  |
