This is a fractal zoom to e.214. e.12 would increase the size of a particle to the same as the earth’s orbit. e.21 would make a particle look the same size as the milky way. e.42 would be equal to the universe. This took a month to render. Watch full screen in HD. The last 2 minutes are the best.

Thanks to Carl, I now have the iPhone version of the clock I cannot yet own.

If you haven’t yet heard about ffffound.com, consider this post a gift from me.

From the site:

FFFFOUND! is a web service that not only allows the users to post and share their favorite images found on the web, but also dynamically recommends each user’s tastes and interests for an inspirational image-bookmarking experience!!

Seriously, have a look. If you’re at all into photography, or art in general, or even just beautiful, interesting things–you’ll love it.

This is an interesting site: hard to describe, just take a look.

Some very nice art here.

I’ve been thinking heavily about art and design over the last few weeks. I think the concepts of creativity and beauty are going to be crucial to my search for meaning. As such, I’ve been thinking a lot more about the aesthetics of things.

More to come on this, but for now a talk by Milton Glaser.

A very nice fractal design for your iPhone background.
