Actually it depends what you call "normal" I don't think anyone not into maths or fractals or programming or sci-fi or fantasy would call me cool !! In fact I think those topics probably put me at the opposite end of the nerd scale
There are two transforms, one of which has a z^2+c component mixed in with the affine transform - the affine transform (giving "a") is performed then the z^2+c is performed using a (as b=a^2+c) then the value actually used from the iteration is f*a+(1-f)*b where f is a user parameter.
