The painter Henri Rousseau
(1844–1910)
famously never left France;
He concocted his fantastical jungles from visits to the botanical gardens in Paris,
images in books and taxidermized specimens in natural history museums,
and a teeming visual imagination.
The results are on view in a mesmerizing exhibition,
“Henri Rousseau: A Painter’s Secrets,”
at the Barnes Foundation in Philadelphia until Feb. 22.

Very happy to see Trump’s illegal block on wind farm development thrown out by a judge, along with the Orwellian justification given for it—a classic inversion of the truth. Every accusation is a confession, etc. (“The government argued that the states’ claims amount to nothing more than a policy disagreement over preferences for wind versus fossil fuel energy development that is outside the federal court’s jurisdiction.”)

The end of an era.
About 15 years ago, I got a used 42U rack, and with great effort got it into my basement, where it held various computers and UPS units over the years. A couple years ago, though, I moved to a smaller computer as the "home server" and emptied out the rack. The rack then sat empty in my house, a bulky relic.
This evening, an acquaintance came and picked it up, so it's off to live a new useful life again.
And now a path through the basement is newly re-open…
