I finally got around to postprocessing the photos I took of the pages in my notebook written on topics concerning the Mandelbrot set. You can see it here: Mandelbrot Notebook

One of the (too-many) long term projects I have is to write a book about the Mandelbrot set that bridges the gap between popular science books ("wow fractals are cool") and mathematical texts ("theorem: something hard and obscure"). I've never written a book before and found myself getting distracted by irrelevancies (like page layout, fonts etc) and re-editing text over and over instead of actually adding new content, so I've been experimenting with git version control commit messages:

git clone http://code.mathr.co.uk/book.git
cd book
git log --color -u --reverse

The working title is How to write a book about the Mandelbrot set.
