More Fluid Fun

One of Fluid's clients is the Utah Film Commission. We are currently working on a display case project for them that will be located in the Utah State Capitol building. We will be displaying a bunch of movie props from films that were filmed in Utah. We just got a bunch of the props today and I was totally thrilled to be able to touch them and get pics holding them.

Here I am holding the case of the Declaration of Independence that was used in the movie National Treasure. I am also holding the compass that was used in PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN!! Jack Sparrow himself held it!

Here's the declaration pulled out of the case. The paper felt super cool.

And here I am holding the harness and wearing the headlamp from 127 HOURS!! So cool! We also had the camcorder and walkman from the movie. There were a bunch of other props but these were the coolest.

Quotes that Inspire

“If you work hard you will be happy, if you don’t, you’ll go to hell.” -- Brigham Young.

"The greatest joy we can have in this life is bringing the best out of others." --Anonymous

“Freedom is not defined by safety. Freedom is defined by the ability of citizens to live without government interference. Government cannot create a world without risks, nor would we really wish to live in such a fictional place. Only a totalitarian society would even claim absolute safety as a worthy ideal, because it would require total state control over its citizens’ lives...” -- Ron Paul

"Great minds discuss ideas, average minds discuss events, small minds discuss people." --Admiral Hyman G. Rickover

"I wish people who have trouble communicating would just shut up." --Tom Lehrer

"A resistance to anything that limits one’s conduct has almost taken over society. Our whole social order could self-destruct over the obsession with freedom disconnected from responsibility, where choice is imagined to be somehow independent of consequences." -- Boyd K Packer

"There will be occasions in each of our lives when we will be called upon to explain or to defend our beliefs. When the time for performance arrives, the time for preparation is past." --Thomas S. Monson

"Why do we assume that simple is good? Because with physical products, we have to feel we can dominate them. As you bring order to complexity, you find a way to make the product defer to you. Simplicity isn't just a visual style. It's not just minimalism or the absence of clutter. It involves digging through the depth of the complexity. To be truly simple, you have to go really deep. For example, to have no screws on something, you can end up having a product that is so convoluted and so complex. The better way is to go deeper with the simplicity, to understand everything about it and how it's manufactured. You have to deeply understand the essence of a product in order to be able to get rid of the parts that are not essential." -- Jonathan Ive, from the book, Steve Jobs, by Walter Isaacson

"I get up every morning determined to both change the world and have one hell of a good time. Sometimes this makes planning my day difficult." --E. B. White

"Any man who can drive safely while kissing a pretty girl is simply not giving the kiss the attention it deserves." --Albert Einstein

“The quality of a person's life is in direct proportion to their commitment to excellence, regardless of their chosen field of endeavor.” --Vince Lombardi

"Life is to be enjoyed, not just endured." --Gordon B. Hinckley

"Attitudes are contagious. Is yours worth catching?"
--Anonymous

"The nearer man approaches perfection, the clearer are his views, and the greater his enjoyments, till he has overcome the evils of his life and lost every desire for sin; and like the ancients, arrives at that point of faith where he is wrapped in the power and glory of his Maker and is caught up to dwell with Him. But we consider that this is a station to which no man ever arrived in a moment.” --Joseph Smith

"Broaden your vision; Lengthen your stride." --Spencer W. Kimball

"It is one of the most beautiful compensations of this life that no man can sincerely try to help another without helping himself." --Ralph Waldo Emerson

"If a man is called to be a street sweeper, he should sweep streets even as Michelangelo painted, or Beethoven played music, or Shakespeare wrote poetry. He should sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth will pause to say, here lived a great street sweeper who did his job well." --Martin Luther King Jr.

“Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life.” --Confucious

"Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great." --Mark Twain

"There's a simple rule for becoming a writer, or an artist, or a photographer: do it. If you want to become a photographer, take pictures. If you want to become a writer, write. If you want to become and artist, draw. There is no substitute. There is no royal road offered by taking courses or reading how-to books. Unless you sit down and do it, such things are utterly useless.

Now, becoming a better writer, artist, dancer or what-not will perhaps benefit from instruction, but instruction is not a substitute for action. Taking a course in writing is a bit like buying a diet book and not doing anything else. The diet book will not magically make you slender and desirable. You've got to eat less and exercise more, and the book is not going to do it for you.

I think of such things as the "illusion of action." You think you're doing something when you're watching the TV news. You think something has happened because you bought a diet book. You think you've done something because you took a course in writing, but unless you have brought something to it, nothing at all has happened." --David Lance Goines

"I will permit no man to narrow and degrade my soul by making me hate him." --Booker T Washington

“Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you'll land among the stars.” --Les Brown

"...So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you were also meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought." --Gandalf from“Lord of the Rings”
