Pottery Eyeglasses Cup

So, I made this quite a while ago as a Christmas gift for my mom. I haven't done much pottery in the last 2 years as we are still working on setting up a studio here. Hopefully this winter we get it figured out and I can get back to slabbing, which is what I did to make this eyeglass cup. She can put her glasses on the hook and have it filled with pens and scissors and keep by the computer so she can easily reach for her reading glasses and know where they are.

#95 Use a Laptop Instead of a Desktop

I don't know much about the energy efficiency of a laptop compared to a desktop, so I am going to refer you to this article.

But is it really if I am on there 4 times as much since I can watch tv and surf at the same time, whereas with the desktop I am removed from everything else and don't tend to stay on as long. These days I am not sure I can NOT multi-task while I watch commercial-free (thanks to the DVR) television.

Basically, you are still using the same amount of ink, but you are saving 50% of your paper consumption. Which means 50% less trees need to be used and less new paper will be produced, treated & packaged. And using 50% less paper means you will save money on buying paper because you need to purchase it less often.
