i dream in CAD....

I came across this through my LinkedIn group I am affiliated with which is suppose to launch on October 1 - in case anyone is interested!

Since I recently wrote about the Van Gogh painting stolen from a museum in Egypt, I thought I would start checking up on the status of some of the art crimes I did research on a couple of years ago. 

One of them was the heist at Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston in 1990 which has been known as the “biggest art theft in American history”. The 20th anniversary was earlier this year….

These lights may have to make a presence in my newly redesigned Chocolate Bar… hmmmm…

I did a research project a couple of years ago for an Art History class on Art Crimes including theft.  I still find it shocking that works of art such as this one recently taken from an Egyptian museum.  The Van Gogh is valued at more than $50mill AND it was in a room with “only some working cameras and no working alarms.”  Anyway, it should be interesting what story comes out if (hopefully when) they find this painting.

Maybe this model should be looked at for New Orleans 9th Ward also?

I am liking this space-saving desk/table!
