heh, very neat. You can also play around with the parameters and equation of the graph. Check out my "tan" heart : 5 + (-sqrt(1-x^2-(y-abs(x))^2)) tan(45 ((1-x^2-(y-abs(x))^2))), x is from -1 to 1, y is from -1 to 1.5, z is from 1 to 6

I've backed several projects on Kickstarter and Indiegogo over the last 1 year and am happy with them. Most of the projects were successfully funded and I have received the products. Sometimes I wish there was more.

Apart from being a great business leader, Ratan is a good, decent person. I've been told by someone very close to me who was a corporate pilot for him and flew him around for several years.
