Darren Draper dropped by, left a nice comment, and included the observation that the place needed a little fractal beauty to spice it up a bit. This is for you Darr!

I love it!
I used to do an assignment where my students would take pictures of Geometry concepts. They would then throw the pictures in a PowerPoint. Nothing like the pros do with Flickr ;) but this was before I knew that Flickr even existed.
Along the lines of fractals, I found that my students always liked to see pictures of digital camouflage - which is a small scale application for fractals. This page is sweet, for example, for showing jets and buildings with and without digital camouflage.
Amazing stuff.
Oh I do so love it when people start talking fractals :)
Check out some software I use & a piece of digital story 'questioning' that the kids created here.

Not sure if you saw this yet, but this page is FULL of math:

Start by showing the kids this new TED talk about calculus and architecture, continue with the satellite images of earth, and WOW!
