Motorized wheel chairs. Not that I think they're a BAD piece of technology, it's just that they go 40 km/h. Stop me if I'm getting carried away here but, they replace your legs right? When they don't work, when you get too fat, or too lazy? And, I might just be going totally crazy but...we can't walk 40 km/h...can we? If we can I've been missing out. So by my powers of deduction, I have come to the conclusion that if you're going to replace the use of your legs with something else, that something else should do just that, replace your legs. Not give you the power of an indy car for sidewalk use. On top of the high speed at which these things go, the drivers seem to be the most pedestrian-spiting individuals on earth. "Lets see how your legs compete with my titanium frame indy chair sucka" *crash*. Either put the old people with wheelchairs on the road, or slow those mofos down, OR make a licence mandatory for the motorized ones.

The Grates
A good light hearted, fun band. Australia gracing us once again with some good music. There's a little Banjo, a little off key lady voice, a little dancey. Check 'em out if you know what's healthy for you.



I understand that trees are a renewable resource, but the frivolous abuse of paper in schools and businesses makes my environmentalist heart sad. Paper is a good hard copy, yes, so I understand its use for important documentation. But with today's great advancements in technology as far as computers, memory sticks, black berries and the such are concerned, why can't more courseware be online? Why can't we hand in assignments online?

Teach Profs to write on some kind of message board when they have comments on assignments. In one of my classes we receive 40 page booklets each week. There are 20 of us. That's a gross amount of paper consumption. I have one professor who is environmentally aware. Only one, now and ever. The school is littered in election (school council crap I guess) candidate posters. I have no problem with advertising yourself, I have a problem with you spelling your name out on the wall in 8 1/2 by 11 sheets of paper with the exact same picture on them all. Well, no one's earned my vote in that department (what a loss...I know). Abusing our natural resources is a BAD
thing I believe. Call me a hippie, an environmentalist, a tree hugger, whatever, but I still use deodorant and shower regularly, I just walk a lot, recycle, and save my trees.



Milk with ice is a good thing. Try it, everyone. The fridge just doesn't make it cold enough.

So we've had tech alley, music corner, environmental moment, and food for thought with Kendel, until next week, stay classy.
