yeah. I plotted that out on a napkin just last week. it really wasn't too hard. all you have to do....

I just use Xaos, the Open Source fractal generator application. Now that I've used it a while I can do my own, but really, I don't have a lot of use for them other than entertainment so I normally use the base formulae provided to start. It's got a good assortment. I've been thinking about building one based on the idea of Tux, the Linux mascot's feathers.

Edit: Sorry, building an image of Tux, the Linux mascot; from the viewpoint of his individual feathers. Yeah, that's what I say I meant.
