"What was Picasso thinking during the final years of his life, when he was living in Notre-Dame-de-Vie on the French Riviera, obsessively producing images of musketeers and matadors, twisted couples and haunted women laced with obvious art-historical references or simply drawn from his fertile imagination?“He was trying to outwit death,” the writer John Richardson said. “In this late body of work the eyes are nearly always Picasso’s eyes.” Mr. Richardson should know. The author of a critically lauded, multipart biography of the artist, he became a friend of Picasso’s — and got to know his bohemian circle — during the 1950s, when Mr. Richardson lived in the south of France with the scholar and collector Douglas Cooper." - RAPatton

"Nearby is “The Kiss,” a 1969 painting of an intertwined couple. “Picasso was a tremendous voyeur,” Mr. Richardson said. “Look at the eye to the left,” oddly placed as if it were the artist staring at the scene. He said that the kissing couple, with their squished faces, is “what you see when you keep your eyes open during a kiss.” “Do you keep your eyes open when you kiss?” he asked... more... - RAPatton

Sea urchins, the small, spiny, globular creatures that compose most of the class Echinoidea, can be found all over the world in a variety of colors the most common being black and dull shades of green, olive, brown, purple, and red. - Cee Bee

"chinese artist bovey lee creates paper cutout drawings, seeking to contemporize the ancient chinese folk art. to preserve and extend this artistry she replaces familiar subject matters in traditional paper cutouts such as folklore or celestial animals, with a blend of images drawing from her background in art. her works depict personal narratives, current affairs and politics. to create her meticulous work she composes images creating digital templates before hand cutting the images on rice paper." - Live4Emma (L4S) from Bookmarklet

'Today, I was clicking around Wikipedia, and somehow came across the entry on the Pelham Islands, a group of islands located in western Long Island Sound. Amazingly enough, only City Island, part of the Bronx, is populated - the rest are empty. Well, that’s not entirely true for Hart Island. There are no living residents on Hart Island, but there are quite a lot of dead: about 750,000, to be exact, making it the largest tax-funded cemetery in the world.' - Akiva Moskovitz from Bookmarklet

Wow, Akiva. Love stuff like this. - Anthony Citrano

That's great she knows she can research at the library. My 5 yo's standard line the past 3 years has been, "Can't you Google it?". - Anika

Hehe Wirehead. Me too. I grew up on a college campus, and between the library and the science building my parents always knew where to find me. - jcunwired

yes, re-sizing will be helpful - slsrx

was going to say that the tumblr image should be the same size as a vi.sualize.us entry, but now I see that my vi.sualize.us feed is RSS feed, not an direct API, and most other ff entries I see for vi.sualize.us is either a direct ff post or reblogged via tumblr. - JECO Photo

I'm sad because I don't see this :( - Clay Newton

I also want this! - Ted Roden

I guess I can't be in on *every* beta... :P On the WTF side... "Twitter Search has been growing ever more popular despite the fact that it lives on a subdomain of our site." Why would living on a subdomain cause it to be less popular? - Voyagerfan5761

This large, oblong decoupage book contains over 40 collages consisting of carefully cut out and assembled engravings from books. The decoupage has been embellished with hand-colored drops of "blood" and handwritten religious commentaries. The emphasis throughout is on images of the Crucifixion, birds, and snakes, all dripping with blood. The album, familiarly known to us as the "Victorian Blood Book," has been an object of fascination, horror, and mystery since it arrived with the rest of the Evelyn Waugh library in 1967. Some time ago we discovered that it was commissioned by a Victorian businessman and statesman named John Bingley Garland (ca. 1790–1875), an Englishman who was one of the founding fathers of Newfoundland, and was given to his daughter Amy in 1854 as a wedding present. - Cee Bee

At 2,500 pounds and as long as a school bus, Titanoboa could eat crocodiles. It lived after dinosaurs died out, and changes scientists' ideas about 'how big a snake can be.' - Shey, Jamaican of FF from Bookmarklet

Snakes are generally able to swallow prey that weighs about the same as they do, Conrad said. Modern photos show reticulated pythons eating deer that weigh 120 to 150 pounds, he said. This snake, weighing in at 2,500 pounds, "could eat a large cow or a bison" -- if there had been any around. - Shey, Jamaican of FF

"As the economy continues to deteriorate, one of the industries that is going to be most severely affected is the American newspaper industry. The fact of the matter is that the biggest chains are deeply in debt. Major cities that have had at least two daily newspapers for more than a century, such as Chicago and Seattle, might soon find themselves with only one source of news. Other papers, such as those in Detroit are no longer providing daily home delivery. If things get really bad, some experts say that some small towns might not have any paper by 2010. And that's a shame. Unlike radio which has become dominated by opinion or TV news which only looks for the 30 second sound bite, the local newspaper digs deep every day to get you, the reader, the full story on what's happening in your town. The newspaper is heavily focused on local news. It keeps you informed about events in your town and keeps local government in-line. So for one day, Monday, Feb. 2, 2009, please make it a point to pick one up - Cee Bee from Bookmarklet

I honestly thought it meant- buy a newspaper company day. I should be able to afford one in a few months. - michael sean wright

"This film is tricky to describe: is it a boat study, a film-poem, an experiment, a picture postcard? One thing is certain: it's a rare colour snapshot of the Thames and London in the 1930s - and it looks quite magical. Its artistic qualities may look a bit old-fashioned to us today; the slow pace, orchestral music and moody colours definitely belong to a bygone era, strikingly peaceful and undemanding. Yet colour film was still a novelty for audiences in 1935, and the photography (using the new Gasparcolor system) succeeds in accentuating the sharp contrast between the vivid green banks of the countryside and the drab tones of the industrial landscape." - Cee Bee from Bookmarklet

"Sweet Thames! run softly, till I end my song" not so long ago, yet all gone now. - Dave Lovely

"On August 12, 1982, I took a 10 x 7 1/8 inch National Blank Book Company composition book from the supply closet of my then employer, Vignelli Associates. From that moment, I have never been without one. I always have one at my desk. I take one with me to every meeting. I am now in the middle of Notebook #85. It's in front of me right now. Together, these well-worn books create a history of my working life that spans three decades." - Jonathan Kong from Bookmarklet

Awesome stuff, we recently worked on a sequence of plankton and they looked at bit like these - Paul Greer

"“With the Depression years in full swing, Gus applied for a Social Security card on December 4, 1936. He was then living at 116 Lexington Avenue, and listed his employer as the Treasury Relief [Art] Project (TRAP). (Created in 1935 by a Works Progress Administration grant awarded to the Treasury Department, TRAP was formed to give work to unemployed artists and to bring as many people as possible into a new and sometimes daily relationship with art.) Gus and many other artists produced works for federal buildings and federal hospitals." - triple t from Bookmarklet

"THE ancient, intricate geometric patterns stamped on the surface of a desert in Peru have long been thought of as messages to the gods, or as markers that tracked celestial objects. Now new details about these geoglyphs suggest they may have been made for "prayer walking". The Nasca lines are a collection of lines, giant trapezoids, and figures of humans, plants and animals in a desert 400 kilometres south of Lima, Peru." - BixP from Bookmarklet

Stonehenge was apparently designed to map the lunar cycles. - Toby Graham

Galstonbury tor is also on a "ley line" like stonehenge is and also they are both in line with each other. :o) - Rob Sellen :o)

"As night falls, puzzler enthusiasts gather outside a residential block in Ukraine in an attempt to decipher the world largest crossword. But unlike your newspaper variety, this puzzle is more than 100ft high and fills the entire external wall of a tall building in the historic city of Lvov. Clues to the massive puzzle, which is 19 squares across and 34 squares high, have been scattered around the city's major landmarks and attractions including parks, fountains, and theatres." - RAPatton from Bookmarklet

"Visitors are encouraged to collect and solve the clues during their weekend strolls, giving them the opportunity to exercise their brains as well as their legs. The brainteaser is too big to be penned by hand, so fluorescent letters are placed inside every square and turned on at night revealing the complete solution. Tourists and local residents have been gathering outside the tower block every night to see if their answers are correct." - RAPatton
