You can't stop time.
In little more than twelve hours the number three will be replaced with the number four. I'ts weird how people make such a fuss about it, myself included. After all, nature doesn't care at all. Speaking of time, lookng back around ten years I use to play around with a program called Fractint. Fractint generates fractals, which are rather beatiful images derived from devilishly simple mathematical formulas. Some googling revealed AllisonArt's Cyberhome, featuring an excellent fractal gallery. I also found Janet Parke Fractal Art Galleries.
If you're interested in making fractals on your own there are probably a bunch of programs out there, but judging from the site Ultra Fractal seems rather good. It's for Windows only, though.
Inclined for noise?
I ran across Ishkur's Guide to Electronic Music, which is probably more entertaining than accurate, but cool none the less. Via avs Online.
If you're interested in something more official check out The Manual by the Ministry of Sound... if you can find it, that is. Or go for the experience of listening to my music instead. Shameless plug, I know.
Last but not least...
...I'd like to wish everyone a happy new year!
