If you're not familiar with Mandelbrot and fractal geometry, you should be. Here's a wiki page about the man: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beno%C3%AEt_MandelbrotHere's a picture:  Here's a video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gEw8xpb1aRAAnd finally, here's a funny quote about his passing: "RIP Benoit Mandelbrot. Thank God he wasn't murdered. It would have taken the cops forever to draw the chalk outline." --Andy Ihnatko

I didn't know he was still alive. This is sad.

IIRC, I used screen savers based on his fractal geometry.
RIP.
