Julia on google map

The Google Research Blog has an article on the zoomable Julia fractal with the mapping API. Wow, this is cool.
This is some heavy duty number crunching.. and HTML5 canvas at work.

Fractals are complex equations in action...by iterating... gee, I have to look up my notes to remind myself what I once knew about it. Some people finds immense beauty.

Once upon a time I found code in Pascal that plots the Mandelbrot set and I converted it to java applet with zoom-able range.

HTML5 will be more relevant if IE adopts it, or the world dumps IE for FF and Chrome.
