Tanti Auguri Leonardo!!

The 15th of April was Leonardo da Vinci's Day. It's believe this genius scientist / sculpter / painter was born on this day in 1452 (553, such a lovely age! ;-)).

I wonder if all this genius would be expressed even by such a man in an era like ours - or if all this talent would be marred by the constant appeals of technology(lol, Leonardo da Vinci hacking away at a computer, PDA at hand, struggling with an operative system instalation, worried if the backups of his work are intact or if the hackers got through his coding algorithym, skettishing DNA sequences in a notebook over a cup of coffee, listening to Moby on his MP3 player, and wondering if there will be time to start on the painting he had been thinking of... and deciding it's much more fun to try the new GTA?! ARGH!!). ;-)

Here is some more of his work.
