PLEASE, we need to have more events like the one Brunel University sponsors:

Smart goggles easy on the eyes By Julie Clothier for CNN Monday, June 27, 2005; Posted: 8:22 a.m. EDT (12:22 GMT) (CNN) -- When swimmers want to improve their speed in the pool, checking a wristwatch can take up precious time. A Welsh design graduate has come up with a solution -- by creating a device that displays race time and laps completed inside a pair of goggles. Katie Williams created a prototype of the goggles as part of her design degree at Brunel University in West London. As a high school student, Williams worked as a part-time lifeguard at her local pool and says she used her experience there for inspiration.
She told CNN that she would often see swimmers adapt their swimming style in order to take a glance at their wrists so they could check their time.The alternative, looking at the large "pace clocks" on swimming pool walls that have only a second hand, also requires effort and time, Williams says."When you're swimming, remembering how many lengths you've swum can be hard. I know that when I used to swim, I would trick myself into thinking I'd done 25 laps when maybe I'd only done 20," she says.Her system ensures swimmers do not lose count."I saw a gap in the market so tried to come up with something to fill it."
Williams' system incorporates an electronic device, which houses a compass, at the back of the headstrap on the goggles.She says it is light and does not feel too different from wearing an ordinary pair of goggles.There is also a small button on the side of the goggles, which activates and deactivates the device when pressed.When a swimmer enters the pool, they press the button once, which signals to the compass the direction the swimmer will be traveling.
When the swimmer turns, the compass detects that the co-ordinates have changed and registers the time. The information, including the total time spent swimming, the number of laps completed and the speed traveled are shown in a tiny heads-up display inside the goggle lens, using a system that reflects information off tiny mirrors. Williams says she believes there is a demand for her product, but she says the challenge has been finding a cost-effective way to display the information. Her work was among several students' show cased recently at Brunel University's annual design expo, called Good Thinking.

yay Matt!

check out the June 2005 issue of National Geographic- page 38. That is one of my favorite persons in the picture with the light blue shirt on in the back- Matt Rafferty - he is probably the most dedicated school teacher on the PLANET and one of the cool things he does is take his middle schoolers to the Chesapeake Bay every year to do cool things like(quoting from NG below)

"catch crabs, dredge for oysters and appreciate the bay's natural bounty. " and LOL
"The take home message: Everyone Lives upstream".

National Geographic should have given him a litte more credit and publisthed his name instead to referring to him as an "educator and watermen" . anyway, check it out!

spins evil plan

wow, spin produced a list of the 100 greatest albums of the last 20 years- it's definitely interesting...I definitely agree with several of them and now interested in checking out the albums I haven't heard yet BUT another part of me says it's probably some evil marketing scheme where the artists are paynig to be listed or the editor/ writer is getting hooked up someway for publishing this data.

finally achieved poverty level salary

my salary at UNCG for being a tutor is $6.00 an hour. I think I made more when I was 13. If anyone would like to go out for a gumball?---I AM BUYING.

waaaaaa- whinning is different than complaining

waaaa's are indeed allowed on my blog (no complaining though). WAAAAAA: My neck hurts and I have disequilibrium big time, which is the sensation of being off balance, I have vertigo bothering me most when I turn my head. Been like this one week now- I want an MRI right this second but the MRI place is suppose to contact me within two weeks to make the appointment. Ok I know there are people who are worst off but it still S*C'S. I mean then what? They call me in two weeks and then we schedule it a month later. I will be totally retarded by then. This must be health appreciation week for me as I would really appreciate feeling well.

surfing for the cure

ok so I was starting to complain to myself today when...low and behold I came across this website while surfing for a cure for vertigo:

WOW- that sucks. so I guess not complaining: BUT if it ends up being menningitis and I die- I TOLD YOU SO...and please I would like my ashes sprinkled on GNA and a big party at an exotic location with a band, swing dancing an open bar- no crying.
