The images above are cellular automata gardens generated from weather data for Fargo, ND & Madison, WI. The original code was provided by dealmeida.net. Generally it looks better in browsers that support tranparency in PNGs. Clicking the button below will cycle through four different display styles, two of which have been tweaked to cause neighboring colors to 'merge'.

The majority of my content has moved over to my other site.

I submitted some content to the Context Free Art project. Here is a direct link to my Pythagorean tree. I may roll out a dedicated gallery for my context free art somewhere down the line.

The automata scripts have been reloaded, and now include four display alternatives. There are still some issues with caching & browser specific problems with the transparency which I'll look into when time permits. I've been thinking about writing some completely new image automata scripts inspired by some of the ideas in an old Artificial Life Lab text I have kicking around, but they won't be done until far later in the semester.

The automata scripts and their resultant images will be down for a couple days. Ditto for my old Texture Maker App dev pages. For the time being, the images will be 'frozen' and the texture maker links will divert to a zipped archive of the old content.

In an attempt to keep this site a little more current and make my procrastination a little more productive, I will be migrating things to a new format and layout. Currently, I know just enough CSS to be dangerous, but I'll attempt to keep the chaos to a minimium. For the time being, all of my old content is still acessible in the original format via the links menu. In the unlikely event that your revisiting my site and can no longer locate something, just look me up and let me know.
