I highly recommend the BBC documentary: Hokusai: Old Man, Crazy to Paint 
<https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x71mc3t>. One of the world's greatest 
artist, David Hockney <http://www.hockney.com/home>, discusses his work, 
along with art historians and other Hokusai experts.

This documentary is gorgeous, informative, and inspiring. When Hokusai was 
80, he said words to the effect of "you haven't seen anything yet. When I 
am 100, I shall truly be a great artist." When he was 90, just before he 
died, he completed a valedictory painting. The documentary clearly explains 
why the painting would have been impossible in his primary medium of 
woodblock prints.

If there is anything that would convince me to *want* to live to be 90, it 
would be my love of programming.

Edward, an old man, crazy to computer program
