Friday Favorites
Today has been a fruitful day of finding some great things I enjoy on the internet, so I thought I’d share some of them. Let me start with my favorite.
Cameron Moll’s Letterpress Salt Lake Temple
Something about this says “obsession” to me and I can only dream of creating something half this interesting. Cameron Moll is a graphic designer who mostly does websites (namely lds.org), and on his website it’s funny that it explicitly says:
Word on the street is Cameron’s not currently seeking employment or freelance but may accept speaking invites.
Oh, the luxury. I’ve always wanted to go on a speaking tour like C.S. Lewis in Shadowlands. Maybe some day I’ll have something interesting enough to say to warrant it.
This is something I don’t really understand. Maybe somebody out there can answer this for me. Why do traders seem to take it so personally when the stock market goes down. Are they personally loosing a log of money when that happens (more than the rest of us, that is), or are they just so emotionally invested in their jobs that they get really depressed when they have a bad day at work. Aren’t they just basically taking orders from people to sell and buy? Where does their personal responsibility lie?
I was wondering enough to stumble upon a kind of funny blog devoted to sad guys on trading floors.
I came across this artist Aoyama Hina who makes these beautiful paper cutouts of sentences from a paper art blog I read sometimes. It says she really does it with scissors. Dunno, but it’s amazing.
