Well, last night was Halloween, where I got the chance to enjoy the eerie glow of our scary pumpkin. Well, scary if you don't like fractals, that is.
Last year, we carved out a Sierpinski Triangle -- which surprisingly only took a toothpick or two to repair isolated triangles:
This year, I wanted to stay with the fractal theme. I didn't necessarily want to attempt the Julia or Mandelbrot sets, so instead did a Sierpinski Carpet (along with a wee bit of evil, of course:)
Not being one to cut 64 of the level-three squares by hand, a cordless drill came in extremely handy.
Unfortunately, when I'm out trick-or-treating, there's nobody around to give candy to the little monsters. I leave a note above a bowl on a chair -- this year, I finally realized why my calligraphy pens include red in the set!
