Pollock's Fractals

So you go on various news sites while you're at work and read through all the main headline news articles, procrastinating away the morning. You start off alright, with something like this...

New York Times: Obama Reiterates Desire for Comprehensive Budget Package






...buuuuuuut you end up reading increasingly unimportant articles until eventually you end up here...

It's okay. We all do it. I love a bit of Perez as much as the next girl...You go into History afterwards and delete the incriminating evidence and then scramble to assuage your guilt over reading such rubbish by finding something intelligent and 'worthy' to read.

It's always good to have quality sites in your History just in case your computer crashes and you have to call the IT guys. Just as your mother may have advised you to always wear nice underwear in case you end up in hospital (yeah... I never quite got that one either. I think doctors in the ER have more pressing things to worry about... But it's a good enough analogy in this case I guess), you should always have a nice web history in case your computer crashes and the IT guys stumble upon it.

So read something you can be proud to leave on your web history. Pollock's Fractals is a few years old now, but as with many of Discover Magazine's articles, its fascinating subject matter is timeless.

As a side note, if you are reading fun but useless articles about Kim Kardashian and leaving inane comments on the absurdity that "this is NEWS?!" please stop. Of course it's not news, but you did click on it, so why the outrage?

Anyway, read Jennifer Ouellette's piece about Pollock's Fractals. Do it. Now. And leave me a comment to tell me what you think!

And maybe afterwards, you can catch up on what Kourtney Kardashian thinks of Kris Jenner's facelift...

Until next time, xxj
