Cricketainment iPad App Sneak Peek
Some shots of a native iPad app that I have been making. I finished designing most of it, and have implemented the screens below. More details coming soon.
Investment books worth reading
I’ve been catching up on some reading now that my university is done. I’ve been learning about investments and the stock market – something I knew very little about a few days ago.
I just finished reading these two books. They were very easy to understand and quite inspiring. I recommend them to anyone who is interested in learning more about investing. Start with the first, then read the second.
How I Made $2,000,000 in the stock market by Nicolas Darvas
How to Make Money in Stocks: A Winning System in Good Times and Bad by William O’Neil
The reason I particularly like these books is that they go against the whole notion of listening to Wall Street analysts. Darvas’ book is mostly a story about how he made it rich on the market in the 50s and 60s. O’Neil is widely regarded as one of the best investors of the last century, and he’s the founder of www.investors.com. His book is extremely focussed on the math behind a stock’s rise. He encourages you to pay attention to charts, graphs and numbers and less on analysts, news and rumours.
Choose for Change
For the last few days, I’ve been volunteering my time on designing and developing “Choose For Change” with a few of my friends. The site aims to educate people on global poverty, and has the concept of placing footprints in the name of one’s friends. It’s still very much a work in progress.
Thought I’d share a few mockups that I designed. I’m not sure if we’ll be using these, and they may go through some modifications but anyway, here they are!
A lot of people think I’m a designer but I’m not. I can make some nice-looking designs but at the end of a day, I’m an engineer.
