“These visible images do not conceal nothing; they evoke mystery and, indeed, when one sees one of these pictures, one asks oneself this simple question ‘What does that mean’? It does not mean anything, because mystery means nothing either, it is unknowable.” ~ Rene Magritte “The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and all science.” ~ Albert Einstein Lijit SearchTumblr (3.0; @sal9000)http://sal9000.tumblr.com/<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kv2t3otJhp1qzsa28o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://sal9000.tumblr.com/post/296650378http://sal9000.tumblr.com/post/296650378Wed, 23 Dec 2009 05:57:56 -0500mords extraordinary flutter mind black<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kv2qg9utDz1qzsa28o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Some flowers on my legs</p>http://sal9000.tumblr.com/post/295643457http://sal9000.tumblr.com/post/295643457Tue, 22 Dec 2009 17:00:09 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kuyw3hd3cY1qzsa28o1_400.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Night has fallen</p> <p>Mute and cold</p> <p>My horse is crying</p>http://sal9000.tumblr.com/post/293079591http://sal9000.tumblr.com/post/293079591Mon, 21 Dec 2009 03:11:53 -0500horsesnowphotographyMy candle burns at both ends; It will not last the night;But ah, my foes, and oh, my friends&#8212;...http://sal9000.tumblr.com/post/292128788http://sal9000.tumblr.com/post/292128788Sun, 20 Dec 2009 14:57:00 -0500candleburnoutpoetry<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kutbu5CZmh1qzocyko1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>(via <a href="http://brokenmachine.tumblr.com/">brokenmachine</a>)</p>http://sal9000.tumblr.com/post/287924094http://sal9000.tumblr.com/post/287924094Thu, 17 Dec 2009 16:29:08 -0500<a href="http://www.exoplanets.org">California Planet Search</a>http://sal9000.tumblr.com/post/287923936http://sal9000.tumblr.com/post/287923936Thu, 17 Dec 2009 16:29:00 -0500<iframe width="400" height="299" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/nU8DcBF-qo4?wmode=transparent&autohide=1&egm=0&hd=1&iv_load_policy=3&modestbranding=1&rel=0&showinfo=0&showsearch=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br/><br/><p>Peter Norvig - Theorizing from data (2007)</p>http://sal9000.tumblr.com/post/280514660http://sal9000.tumblr.com/post/280514660Sat, 12 Dec 2009 13:37:25 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kuiql7DSb71qzsa28o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Their extinction is ours as well.</p>http://sal9000.tumblr.com/post/279696611http://sal9000.tumblr.com/post/279696611Fri, 11 Dec 2009 21:51:06 -0500<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kuip52Z3TH1qzsa28o1_400.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>In forma dunque di candida rosa<br/> mi si mostrava la milizia santa<br/> che nel suo sangue Cristo fece sposa.</p> <p><i>Paradiso, XXXI, 1-3</i></p>http://sal9000.tumblr.com/post/279659930http://sal9000.tumblr.com/post/279659930Fri, 11 Dec 2009 21:19:49 -0500<iframe width="400" height="323" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/AICq53U3dl8?wmode=transparent&autohide=1&egm=0&hd=1&iv_load_policy=3&modestbranding=1&rel=0&showinfo=0&showsearch=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br/><br/><p><a href="http://thenark.com/art/julius-popp/">Julius Popp - Bit.Fall<br/></a></p>http://sal9000.tumblr.com/post/80515408http://sal9000.tumblr.com/post/80515408Sun, 22 Feb 2009 13:12:25 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/m8cXeNFrnk82n4dqFAD45yIfo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><blockquote></blockquote></p>http://sal9000.tumblr.com/post/80459938http://sal9000.tumblr.com/post/80459938Sun, 22 Feb 2009 07:44:18 -0500<embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://assets.tumblr.com/swf/audio_player_black.swf?audio_file=http://www.tumblr.com/audio_file/69481192/uMJ1zQ7DHij3vcpnE9povTS7&color=FFFFFF" height="27" width="207" quality="best" wmode="opaque"></embed><br/><br/><p>LE_CANTIN - FWD DJ MIX (Minimal)</p> <p>“Well, I hope you’ll enjoy that one as much as I did to make it.
