Industrial Design Day

I had the opportunity to help my buddy Ryan Jung out with a project he was working on. I drove down after work to pick Ian up since he was in town for Ted's wedding and we got tied into the project Ryan was doing for his Industrial Design program at BYU. I really wish I could go back in time and make this my major. It doesn't seem like school work when you're in the wood shop drilling bases for lamps and using a laser tool to cut out lamp shades. Maybe someday I'll get a chance to study this stuff. For now I'll just live through Ryan and a few other friends who have studied in the same program. I'll post a picture of the lamp at a later date. I reserved mine out of the total of 15 that were produced and I'm glad I did. His lamp design was a hot commodity and due to demand they had to produce anther set of them.

Antiquities

I got these two pieces of pottery while I was in Jerusalem a few years back. They are supposedly dated to about 30 AD or so, give or take. The lamp and vase are both very common there and are being dug up all the time. I took it upon myself to find a reputable dealer who wasn't too pricy. They are some of my more favorite possessions.
