Following Andy’s whimsy

My web-friend Andy Borrows has been stumbling around the web and unearthing some lovely treasures. Here is a little flash app that demonstrates attractors.   I killed 20 minutes with that one tonight.

And here is a nice version of John Conway’s game of life.   As I was playing this one I had the uncanny sensation that I was watching the world.   There are pockets of peace and pockets of energy and it’s interesting to see how the pockets of energy creep around and interact with the pockets of peace.   This is a stunning long range picture of the way things that happen in one part of the world affect things that happen elsewhere.
