Ok, as a person who is getting more and more obsessed with self-organizing and chaotic systems, I found this programming tutorial too awesome to not to spend some time to share it.
The topic is Visualizing the Mandelbrot set. However, it is much more than just a Mandelbrot set. If you are not sure what the hell I am mumbling about then you should watch BBC documentary called The Secret Life of Chaos.
Fractals did give me an interest in math and boosted my interest in computers. My high school programming teacher showed us a documentary about it, and that's when I knew I was making the right decision going into computer science.
Thanks for the links! Watched the first video so far, and have no words. It is hard to comprehend simplicity of underlying rules seeing the complexity of those structures. Going to watch the second video during coming weekends.
If you think this is something weird or new wait for the effects of quantum physics. It will blow your mind right off (more likely it will be: wtf? this can't be true).
