@MxPxRobbie: It cant be too hard to do since I had a couple pics at flickr and one day discovered the "stats", which I opened to see what it was, and both pics had been downloaded over 800 times.
This is pretty cool. I used to do a lot of long exposure photography of traffic when I was living out there.
However, I was expecting this to be a series of top down photos of intersections, not merely photoshopped photographs. I won't deny it looks pretty neat, but it isn't nearly as interesting. The original photos would probably have been more compelling.
A few years ago I did the same sort of thing with photos of buildings. Now that looked really cool, if I do say so myself.
I may be wrong, but I think the permissions on Flickr for that set don't allow for the download of the full-size image. It needs to be enabled in Settings?
@NorwoodIsMyHero: I know a couple of finance guys and their math is HORRIBLE...which is most likely the big reason for the mess we're in now. Seriously, we'll go to lunch and when the bill comes they just kind of stare at me blankly until I tell them what they owe. Because, you know, tax and tip are sooooo tough to figure out that they have to have the "physics geek" do it for them.
@ninjamurf: Math related structured investments are the worst of the worst of the "toxic assets" that helped create this mess. The pricing and risk models to "evaluate" them were designed by physicists and engineers. You have to know math, credit risk, and economics to succeed in our industry. The dolts you go to lunch with sound like a bunch of retail bankers.
True finance geeks don't consider those types of guys to be finance, we use mostly four letter non appropriate wording when talking about pea brained daddy's boy bankers like them.

And before you say it, finance geeks do NOT fit under Math geeks.
Thinking like that was a big reason for the mess we're in now.

It's a hard, unpaid job, but someone's gotta do it.

Definitely not a true geek.

Well, at least not a true LEGO geek...
