One night in November, as I was drifting off to sleep, an image and thought came to mind. Inspired no doubt from mild hypnagogia, I saw a strip of grass, with each blade's height dictated by the numbers of Pi. Don't worry, I've not gone totally down the rabbit hole. Pi was just good number set to represent natural randomness.
So I woke myself up and started programming, and within a short amount of time I created the the "grass" image above in Processing [processing.org] using Pi as input. I was quite pleased with it, it looks pretty much like what I imagined. Kind of computery looking.

Not happy with grass colours, I continued on, changing colours and other attributes.

This is what I love about Processing. It's easy and quick to get ideas coded up. I'm hoping to really get into it in 2013. Processing doesn't seem to like 64bit WIndows8 all that much though. It works but crashes a lot. I'm sure I'll eventually get it sorted out, and if not, I'll just keep using it in Linux.

thanks for the achill video - i thought about putting it on the blog or the opening part anyway before all the talking
btw, you should try graphing the fibonacci numbers - see if you can make it do this http://bit.ly/10pK3pY
This is as far as I got with the Fibonacci sequence some years ago[gammagoblin.blogspot.ie/fib...]
Re: the Achill video... I thought the guy who said the henge had musical properties was going to slaughter a chicken at the end, he was very enthusiastic. I think they should build a large wickerman in the middle of it and have a type of I'm a Celebrity... competition to see who gets burned alive.
I'll leave the vid up for a few more days, in case you need to download it.
I will put it on my blog, thanks !
That fibonassi is great btw
