Phun photos!
One of my friend's took this shot and put it on on his blog:
I liked it a lot because it reminded me of a picture i generated from the ray tracer i wrote:

And yet even with all my reflections and translucency hullabaloo, his looks so much cooler than mine! Oh well, that's why i'm a code monkey and not an artist. :-)

Travis: Yup. It's a sphereflake. A pretty common structure used in ray tracers. Interestingly enough it's a fractal structure that has finite volume but infinite surface area :)
