"In October 1881, not long after he finished his joyous Luncheon of the Boating Party, probably his best-known work and certainly one of the most admired paintings of the past 150 years, Pierre-Auguste Renoir left Paris for Italy to fulfill a long-standing ambition. He was 40 and already acclaimed as a pioneer of Impressionism, the movement that had challenged French academic painting with its daring attempts to capture light in outdoor scenes. Represented by a leading gallery and collected by connoisseurs, he filled the enviable role of well-respected, if not yet well-paid, iconoclast." - M F from Bookmarklet

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

LOVE!!! - Emma

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? - dgw

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

very, very strange in its formality and the association of the abstract drops of blood with text and pictorial elements; and to give it to your daughter on her wedding day. Creepy. - Dave Lovely

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 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

"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

"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
