Several days ago sci-fi author/anthologist, blogger, and general Jill-of-all-trades Kathryn Cramer posted a challenge, titled "Who Among You are Geek Enough to Decorate Your Easter Eggs in Mathematica? http://www.kathryncramer.com/kathryn_cramer/2008/03/who-among-you-a.html It begins: "I dare you. Send your Mathematica egg notebooks to me." One person egged on by this challenge was her father, John Cramer. http://faculty.washington.edu/jcramer/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_G._Cramer K. Cramer kindly sent us several of his, and (to my admittedly untrained eye) they have considerable visual appeal. With hopes of getting more such artwork, those of us affiliated with the Wolfram Demonstration Project http://demonstrations.wolfram.com have decided to raise the stakes ever so slightly. First, since a dare seems too mild, we double-dog dare you; it's not a competition, but think of it as a challenge. Second, we intend to write a pre-Easter blog post for http://blog.wolfram.com Prepare your decorated eggs using Manipulate, and submit as Demonstrations. We will include selected artistry therein. Also note that all eggs published on the Demonstrations site become freely available for all to use. That's right folks, these eggs you can poach... Daniel Lichtblau Wolfram Research
