I was playing around with generating geometric shapes using random 
numbers constrained by certain conditions.

This one uses the following algorithm

start with a point in space
while n < some_number
   add plus or minus one to one of x,y or z
   if the new point is within a certain volume ( in this case, near 
the 		    surface of a sphere)
   add the new point and a cylinder connecting this and the previous 

     point

I'm using Python to do the calcs and output a pov file, since it's much 
faster that way and easier to keep track of which points are occupied 
and which pairs are connected.

Anyway I thought this one looked niceish with most of the allowed 
segments in place.
