Segways and Bicycle Generators
I'm sitting up here at 1am, convinced that I must absolutely have the Segway Personal Transporter.

Yes, I am a lazy ass. And yes, I want one.
As I continued reading on the subject of the Segway, I discovered that someone did indeed build a cheaper alternative!
However, he did share a valid concern, that commercially produced equipment like the Segway has all the safety checks and redundancies that are not included in any home-made standing scooter. So, we're back to the purchasing of the Segway.
========================================
Also, I've spent this week thinking about bicycle generators. Everyone that cares about me have told me to go jog or cycle. I personally find it a weird way to expend energy without having any direct benefits from it.
Let's look at the pros and cons:
Pros:
- It encourages weightloss
- Improve cardio
- Strengthens the slow-twitch muscles which encourage endurance
Cons:
- I have to pull out 30 mins of my day to do it
- No mental stimuli is introduced
- It hurts like hell with no immediate benefits
Yes, yes, this is far from comprehensive. But that's how my brain works. I will never always be this young, or at this stage of physical fitness, but I'm sure that my mental capacity can only get stronger. I don't know how it will get stronger if I keep going out hoping that I won't kill myself jogging.
So anyway, I got myself to thinking about electricity. How can we improve our current usage of electricity, and perhaps produce some of our own when we do physical activity?
Look at that! Isn't it awesome?
Now, my plan is to get the Bicycle Generator and the Segway. I'll cycle long enough on the Bicycle to power the Segway, and then take the Segway out to run my errands.
But Sebby, why don't you just cycle out there to run your errands?
That's because I would rather keep my perspiration and panting in the comfort of my own home. Not to mention the effect perspiration has on clothes.
Also, the generated power can be used to power up other items. I just need a DC/AC converter, and I'm all ready for the apocalypse.

What use are eyeballs? I want to change minds!
I've probably gone off the deep end on this one. But the fact is, I've watched this blog take up space, and I haven't touched it in a while because I'm not personally engaged into making it better. Maybe I don't really believe what it stands for.
Certainly, plenty of people have made millions over the internet. I hope to count myself amongst them in the years to come. But in the meantime, the blog hasn't been growing, my readers haven't been growing, and neither have I.
So today, I'm changing the way this blog works. A business blog no longer, it shall be the blog of my mind. Lessons I've learned, and things that have touched my life. Hopefully, with the continued input into the blog, I'd be able to really grow and engage. After all, in a business blog, you would want eyeballs. Not me. No longer. Now, I want minds.
P.S. I think the reason I'm pushed to do this is because I keep getting emailed about people (or bots) have been signing up to join the blog. I'm pretty sure it's cause they want to post comments that link back to their site. Gosh. Can't people stop trying to push their own agendas everywhere?
