Before I say much about this HLO, about it buy more about a hearty shout-out to BarCampLA-5 (hey, all!) where we just kicked off with self-tagging introductions by 200+ coders, artists, entrepreneurs, writers, dreamers & geeks.
This little beauty measures less than an inch in diameter.
Shine a good light on it, though, and it throws off a high-school prom’s-worth of moonbeams fit for slow-dancing and furtive groping and wondering if the other person knows you’re actually secretly a totally hopeless dork …
Somewhere in Mexico (or was it China?) people with tweezers must be hunkered over tables hand-building these things nine hours a day:
- Grab a little wooden ball.
- Staple a silver-thread cord to the top.
- Spray adhesive all over the ball.
- Look at the bowl full of square-ish mirror scraps and heave a heavy sigh: another day at work. The Christmas trees and rearview mirrors of the idle class need mirror balls.
Start tweezing. Do they feel romantic while they’re working?
