I’m always a sucker for pixel art. Christian Faur has taken it one step further by using Crayons as his pixels. The detail is amazing, and I love the subtle color changes wihtin picture. Whether they were really part of the original picture or merely an addition by the artist, I think it would work in either capacity.

This is a great animation explaining the beginning of the credit crisis…it’s too bad no one figured this out before…

Market Crisis

I know the “current economy” gets written about a lot, but I really liked this quote from Dan diBartolomeo from the new Wired. When asked whether or not the current crisis could have been prevented, he said:

People are investing in complex securities they don’t understand. The big failures aren’t data failures; they aren’t issues of “We don’t know.” They’re issues of “We don’t want to make the effort to be rigorous.”
