More Money Than Sense

Honestly, the amount of people who have more money than sense is beguiling. I'm part of the London Fixed Gear and Single Speed forums and there's a thread constantly being updated with photos of people failing to lock their expensive bikes properly.

There have been some real shockers, sometimes painfully expensive bikes have been left barely locked up at all, or with crappy cable locks that can be cut with a small wire cutter. This was the latest:

The lock is an expensive one with a decent rating, but no matter how good a lock it is, it won't protect your bike from theft by dangling next to it.

I swear, some people just buy bikes but don't really care about them, they have loads of money wound up in Rowan Dartington investments so if their pricey bike gets nicked they can just buy another one.

The future is shrinking...

As time goes on, we expect technology's advancements to see electrical products and computers get smaller and cheaper. But how far do we expect that to go? Well apparently, pretty far!

Enter a new piece of technology the size of a USB flash memory drive that could help children discover and learn how to program computers.

Raspberry Pi, developed by games developer David Braben and his colleagues is a whole computer on a tiny circuit board, made with an ARM processor, USB port and an HDMI connection, and will cost only $25, or £15.

So is that tiny little thing all we need for a computer? Is this the future for computers? I can't imagine having such a small and delicate looking thing being my actual computer, but I suppose it's the same technology in the back of an iMac, just drastically shrunk!

Teaching in 3D!

One school in Reading uses 3D technology to teach! They have installed a hi-tech projector so the kids can watch images beamed onto their whiteboard.

I wish when I was at school they had technology like that as it must make learning more fun and more kids would probably pay attention.

The 3d school uses the technology in most lessons and I can imagine it is really amazing in a science class so you can see and visualise everything.

Apparently the kids there love it and because the equipment is getting cheaper other schools may introduce it as well. The only problem is the glasses are expensive, but they soon will go down in price hopefully!

I never thought I would say this but if my school had 3D I wouldn’t mind reliving secondary school!
