I wasn't sure which thread to place this in -- Art, or 1000 Words? It sort of fits in either. My good friend, Bruce Damer, runs a computer history museum in the Santa Cruz mountains. A while back he and John Redant filled out the original "bushy tree" diagram published by Xerox PARC -- which told the lineage of visual computing -- to bring it into present terms. Here's the interesting result:  Redant provides context. ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// I declare war on all icons and finalities, on all histories that would chain me with my own falseness, my own pitiful fears. I know only moments, and lifetimes that are as moments, and forms that appear with infinite strength, then "melt into air." I am an architect, a constructor of worlds, a sensualist who worships the flesh, the melody, a silhouette against the darkening sky. --Lebbeus Woods | |||

Beautiful pics Wanderer. I'm looking forward to my next visit to Paris. ************************** @GreatDismal: Crowd-sourcing about 11,000 people on a simple question makes Google look like a small public library in 1964! | |||

Call me strange, but I see a face in the "cloud" background, the obvious one on the right, and two, possibly humping, fish. There just Might be three strange beasts to the right of the seated poet. And there may be a lurker, lower right. I LOVE my pattern recognition skills... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Nurturing my inner clown. "I do great literary theremin.”-Gibson | |||

 A picture I took while walking around Uppsala's oldest cemetary. It was a tall black-iron structure over someone's tomb (the only one that I could see in the whole church yard). Unfortunately, the engraving was so eroded I couldn't read who was buried there and when. I figure with all the fancy ironwork, it was someone who was either famous or wealthy (or both) Was der hahn ?!?!? | |||

Those were amazing. I looked at each one. The Koen site was excellent as well. Taste your native immortal air | |||

Stupid me. I didn't keep up with this thread. MOM: You have my permission to do whatever you want to with the digital image. Of course a scan, or even a photo can't show the detail in the surface. 'Course now that I don't own the painting anymore, even I can't see the detail. | |||

Thank you very much, sir. I'm sincerely honored. For now, I'm enjoying hiding things behind it. If you gave it away, good on you. If you sold it, never let me know the price.  | |||
