Yesterday, I met someone who uses SVG images instead of png clip art. She is working with blind children. Different parts of the image can be labeled on SVG instead of a long global description. Spatial context for the image. 😍 this is W3C.

"Blue Nude II," Henri Matisse, 1952.
Matisse (1869-1954) is regarded as one of the founding fathers of Modern Art. A printmaker and sculptor as well as a painter, he was a trailblazer for artists today.
Earlier in his career he was known as a Fauvist, a school of painting that featured bright, intense colors and bold brushstrokes. As the years went on he experimented more and more, creating work that broke with standards of Realism but was also fairly representational.
Late in his life, after surgery for abdominal cancer, he wheelchair-bound and sometimes bedridden. Unable to paint anymore, he had assistants paint sheets of paper with bright colors and then he would cut them up and assemble collages. They could be representational, like this or merely abstract patterns. Matisse came to refer to this time as his "second life," as he found working with cut-outs and collage immensely rewarding and a new direction for his art.
This is also interesting because it marks a turn from his earlier teachings, that the human body should not be broken up. But here, he's using negative space as part of the greater whole...and it works.

For all those boosts about the new release of the Steam Machine: It is nice to see how well Linux suits Valve's goals, and that they continue their commitment to the broad community with Proton, SteamOS, and others.

Penguins can fly, they are just used to their ancestors having these heavy afros that prevented flight so they no longer attempt to do it.

I want to get famous enough to appear on MTV’s Cribs so I can have that classic moment where I dramatically announce that “this is where the magic happens” only for me to open the door to a room with nothing in it aside from one of those boxes that magicians pretend to saw in half.

There was a lot of gossip. Not because they were both very old, and famous. Not only because both used the same pronouns. Mostly because they were different species.
How do they do it?
"Like everybody else," the heir to the Elven throne said.

Let's share the lessons learned, so everybody can learn from everyone's mistakes.
@eniko The most difficult aspect of getting above 40 is that every illness taxes to the previous gains --- we now have to rebuild resiliency in addition to recover from the illness. The same applies to sports and training --- every illness rests some gains from previous trainings. The good side is that the body becomes extremely efficient in doing that, so even low intensity workouts contribute to overall resiliency and health.
