I am a student in San Francisco studying industrial design. My thesis is about making systems that allow users to be more involved in the making of what they use. So basically light kits. Like erector sets etc. Just a study of how people have no relation to what they buy or have in their homes and trying to increase that emotional attachment. I love your blog and have been reading it for an hour or so. Your dogs are beautiful too. So let me know if you want to share your thoughts?<br /><br />Thanks,<br /><br />Jen<br />jenpearson.1@gmail.comJPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10680071007425159451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4844065586392095541.post-29022769730898099132009-10-07T16:00:02.138+02:002009-10-07T16:00:02.138+02:00Also a good option.

The best solution is probably to hang the lamp through the pulleys in some kind of rope, and connect the electricity through a spiraled, loose hanging cable, the kind that land line phones use.Northmarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12655788565660714552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4844065586392095541.post-13164741662788942532009-10-06T15:06:22.059+02:002009-10-06T15:06:22.059+02:00What about adding a bit of heavy lead sinkers, the...What about adding a bit of heavy lead sinkers, the ones used for surf fishing, or even down riggers, to both sides?
