Awesome Error

Quick post. Now it is rare something bad that happens can actually be quite good or in this case amusing. Now it well known that the internet isn't the most secure piece of technology and some times particular websites don't work or are undergoing maintenance. General thing to do is put up a message saying that there is an error or the website is being changed and most of the time these messages simply just like default messages.

So it is quite humorous when you come across an error saying this

"Database Error"

Auto Message:
Okay.. so the database did not connect or something.
A human will fix this soon as he knows about it.

Wheres Cardiff Now?

Today, I actually did something productive. On Thursday I went to Roath Park Community Centre in the aim to use there GYM, but sadly I got turned (pretty much normal) as I needed to get a Max Card to then get my Stretch. It was a bit stupid to get one card to get another. Although both enable me with big discount to many places.

I finally got that done today after waiting a whole weekend (which it totally doesn't seem like) and was able to use the GYM. I did have my hopes up with going to this GYM expecting it to be like any other GYM. To later to shocked to the comparison to any other GYM I have been to. I was told that the equipment was the latest GYM technology, my description of it would be that it is futuristic GYM technology.

The things like the Treadmill is simply a Treadmill but with upgraded technology and monitoring system as well as the Cross Trainer. The really cool stuff was the that there was a machine which was a cross between a Treadmill and a Cross Trainer which simulated you in running on the stop and determines the stride length you took. Sounds a lot like a Treadmill but it is a lot better.

Then there was the Mountain bike simulator XDream. It is sort of like mountain biking but indoors. It is just like being outside, it gets harder the higher the slope and easier going down slopes with other real competitive computer character. And amazing, Multi player with the machine next to you. It is a lot of work to do it but burns off a lot of then calories. I would describe it as a Guitar Hero in the sence of thatyou have to perform the action to win.

Then comes the weight lifting equipment. When I got my induction and the GYM coordinator showed me how it all worked, well every time I got on a machine I had no idea what so ever it would to. Then being stunned by what it does. When you perform the actions on the machine. there is not one part of it which doesn't move at all, including yourself sitting on it. As well a Water Powered Rowing Machine, instead of the Concept Two Rowers.

In conclusion, The GYM will be seeing a lot of me from now. Also the steep decline of the Cardiff's funds in money, I know what it had gone into now, the GYM and the whole brand new building but properly mostly into the Gym.

So much for so much Fun

At this moment in time Guitar Hero equipment i.e. Drums, Guitar Hero Metallica and more is something which is at the top of my wish list for saving up. Searching for all these things on the entertainer (Internet) you can come across some amazing things and I found something amazing related to guitar hero 

This hear is a Guitar Hero Guitar Made from LEGO, even more amazement came to me when I found out that this guitar actually does work with the game. 

This is a real possibly contender for the Next 
Guitar Hero Guitar. 
Think this is possible for the drums also?

Where are we going?`

Take a look at this contraption.
What you see hear is a mobile phone. How it works, I do not know. Nokia's Morph Nanotechnology Concept Phone. Cambridge University and Nokia teamed up to produced a concept mobile phone using NANOTECHNOLOGY. Using this technology and other tricks up the sleazes This is a Flexible, Stretchable Phone allowing you to transform the handset into radically different shapes.

Yes, this is really cool but what is happening. Nanotechnology and stretchable phone is MAD, looking at it carefully and thinking what we are living among. We are hypnotised into technology in the world today. Looking at the phone and thinking, it makes you wonder where we will be in this world in 10 years among this technology, driving flying cars, not needing to walk a cm and the technology we are in now being the equivalent to technology 10 years ago looking back when we get there.

This phone is said to ready seven years from now. People are making concept phones when they could be thinking of ways to help global warming. How fast these years are going seven years will be here in no time.

The way technology seems to be developing, do we really want seven years to come.
