Money Eater

A man in the US called Wayne left his 12 year old dog alone in his car while he went to have his dinner. The dog, Sundance decided it was dinner to at promptly ate the money he had left in the car. The man returned to find $500 of his own cash gone. Wayne then had to wait till his dog had pooped and looked in it's poop for his money, He managed to get some of the scrapes of it and has sending it to the US Treasury department hoping that they will replace them. He has been told that this process could take up to two years. What a waste of good money

Plane Crash off Runway in Bali

On the 16th of April a Lion Air airplane crashed just off the run way in Bali, there has been no casualties but some of them have been injured. The plane was trying to land at Denpasar's Ngurah Rai international airport. Also photos and a video on Indonesian television show that the plane was split down the middle of the plane, I think this must have been scary to have been on this plane as most crashes lead to deaths.

Game of Phones

Which side will you choose in the battle of brands?

This so called war has being going of for a while now with Apple, Samsung and other brands trying to be the top. Apple triggered this smart phone revolution when they brought out their iphone 1 with all its apps and options. This was followed by the Samsung Galaxy 1 with about the same amount of apps and additions but at a lower price, this was when this started with the iphone 2 coming out recently after the Galaxy.

To date the Apple iphone 5 and the Samsung Galaxy Note II with all there apps and sizes but the most amazing thing is about what Samsung's said that they have the software to be abe to move the screen by just moving your eyes. As you can tell this is a war worth fighting for as most of the phones are over $1000 or even more.

Challenge P1 Improve my fitness over a 12 week period

Today on 14-04-13 I have made this chart to help to show my results towards completing this challenge. I will update this every week, and upload it to my blog every two weeks, so you can see my progress also. At the moment I think I am just making it and will have to put in the hard lines to complete this challenge. I think I can do this as and have set myself a target of biking from my home to the Papamoa plaza after school two times a week, this is a distance of 7.3 kms each trip, along with a couple of other rides. Here is my progress so far and a graph showing this.

Challenge P6: walk or run a negotiated walkway four times with a family member

Today on 13-04-13 me and mum went to do the Papamoa hills walk. I reckon it took us about one hour for bottom to top and back again. Along the way we saw lots of other people, families groups and just sole runners / walkers, it was surprising how many people were actually doing this walk on the same day we were.

After walking all the way to the top I though It would be much easer to just wing suit down instead of walking or running, if only. The bad part going back down, was having to go back through all the poop and gravel. Also up top you could see all the way from the Mount down to Te Puke and further, pretty far out. Over all it was a pretty smelly steep walk but worth it. Here are the photos of the day.

Home work

A while ago I had made this weird face out of old CD's, pipe cleaners, sponge and old scraps of material. At the time I was making it for a christmas present for my Dad. Hope you like it, here it is.

Home work

Today on the 07-04-13 my family and I (Me my Mum and my Dad) went on a bike ride down to Gordon Sprat park. We started our ride on the track at Pacific View road and went all the way there and back, with only a few stops as I was getting too far ahead. This is the second time Mum and I have done this, but it was the first time for my Dad. Here are some of the photos.
