dinner seating at the mandelbrot home

home again (yet still quasi-homeless) in berkeley, after a splendid 1200 mile roadtrip with nadia up to the boreal regions of our state (hi bom!) followed by visit to the heathen inhabitants of the terra incognita that lies beyond.. now back at lbl hacking out final revisions on our paper.. cooked up some coffee... room temperature is actually tolerable... hopefully the brethren and sisters of the ancient order of meter maids will ignore my illegally parked vehicle for a few more hours. manuscript to follow...

oh, i nearly forgot.. the subject line of this post is the caption that someone added to my drawing of a square Koch snowflake on the whiteboard here.. wanna know something freakish? you can tile the plane with two sizes of Koch snowflakes.
