lighting projects...

I have been working several projects this week, including:

  • New lamps for bedroom dresser.
  • New OTG SmartReader Adaptor for my tablet which resulted in rooting my Android.
  • Holiday cookies...

Awhile back a closet door fell on top of one of the black lamps I had on my dresser and was destroyed. I was lucky, in that it did not damage the mirror [an expensive birthday gift about 10 years ago]. The rest of the bedroom set I purchased years earlier when I lived in Arlington, VA.

Last week, I finally decided to replace the lamp but could not find exactly what I had-- and I also had to worry about a slightly faded lamp shade. I think I purchased the original lamps from Ikea. The following illustration shows the style of the old lamps and where the remaining lamp is now located.


Our house has gone into energy efficient mode and though I still had four working lamps in the bedroom, plus a computer lamp, I could not see anything on the dresser nor in the draws. I think the new energy efficient bulbs are a bit dimmer and the existing lamps just not close enough.

So anyway, I ordered two new, smaller lamps plus an OTG SmartReader for my Android. Total cost: about $40, including the light bulbs [okay, not so energy efficient].


This is why I was clearing off the dresser as I discussed in the last post. In addition to the lamps and rearranging things-- I have spent a great deal of time rooting my Android so that my USB OTG SmartReader will work. Not going to go into the details here, suffice to say- this was a lot of research.

And finally, in addition to these projects, a new tin of holiday cookies from Costco arrived.


I stayed up late last night rooting my Android and eating a quarter of those cookies.
