Mandelbrot set in a twitcode

Kinik just published a pretty amazing #twitcode version of a Mandelbrot set visualization in JavaScript that Jacob Seidelin wrote.

Here’s the code:

for(k=84;k-=1/32;document.write(k%3?i%8:'<br/>'))
for(x=y=0,i=99;--i/y;x=t)t=x*x-y*y+1-k%3,y=1-k/42+y*x*2

And here’s what it renders:

Twitter contest: what can you code in 130 characters?

I just posted the following snippet on Twitter. The exercise is to write meaningful and preferably cool code that fits in a Twitter message along with the #twitcode keyword, which leaves 130 characters.

private static readonly byte[] _blankGif =
  Convert.FromBase64String(
      "R0lGODlhAQABAID/AMDAwAAAACH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAEBMgA7");

I can’t wait to see what people come up with.
