Borvana

How bored can you get? How much boredom can a human mind contain? What is the deepest, sadest dimension of pure boredom a person can experience?

I must have been close to 'borvana' when I made this macro.

$OpenOffice showing a mandelbrot fractal.$

If you're using Excel 2000 (or fairly compatible, but OpenOffice is not), you give it a test run. If you're not, there are a selection of sample renderings. To your left is a screenshot from OpenOffice (click to enlarge). As you can see, all cells are tiny, and the background color is set to form a pixmap. You can zoom in on these things by selecting a nice area and pressing ctrl+z.

There's even a contributed version with better instructions, background information, multiple colors and more!

Introduction to the mandelbrot set.	"A guide for people with very little math experience".
Fractal theory	Slightly less practical for some, but equally interesting.
