Russell Beattie Notebook - Upgrading the Mac Mini: Pictorial
Russell Beattie Notebook - Upgrading the Mac Mini: Pictorial: "Try downloading Cocktail 3.5 for OS X. It gives you access to a bunch
of things Apple doesn't want you to have. For example you can turn off
the zooming windows and other excesses for the Aqua interface that
takes up processor and RAM. Also there is a app called TInker Tool.
Between the two - I have stripped down Aqua to it's bare essentials -
which makes slower machines perform much better."

Geometry and Pattern in Nature 1: Exploring the shapes of diatom frustules with Johan Gielis' Superformula.
Geometry and Pattern in Nature 1: Exploring the shapes of diatom frustules with Johan Gielis' Superformula.: "I have always been intrigued by geometry and patterns. Examining diatom
frustules for the first time under the microscope, I was captivated by
the perfection of their symmetry. It was through my motivation to find
out more about the precise regularity in the simple, but perfect,
frustule forms that I came across Johan Gielis' Superformula, a
fascinating concept that interlinks a number of shapes found in living
organisms through variations on a single mathematical equation."
