Zorbing

The classes have started again. I mean that's OK. Most of them seem pretty interesting for the time being and it's nice to learn something new.

Classes obviously cannot possibly be a reason for the good stuff in life to keep on happening. The last weekend we went for zorbing..
If you don't know what that is, don't worry, practically nobody does. As always use Google / Wikipedia combination to retrieve required information.

The guys claim(their webpage does) they have the only track in Europe featuring a turn. That's supposed to be exciting. In reality the track is about 120m long, but that results only in a couple of seconds. Regardless of it's shortness it's definetly a must-try.

I liked Aerotrip way more. You just keep on turning, turning, turning and turning.. Then you get a little bit dizzy and continue turning.. It can be a challenge if you try to push it by yourself since you never know in which direction you are gonna turn ( left, right, down ? ) the next turn.

You can see a video of me attemting to do it here
Video is 2:24 long.

I think it would be interesting to try to do it with some home made stuff. ( but not in anytime now, so you don't need to start worrying just yet)

In other news, the uwc site has gotten some rework. Defintely looks & feels better, so cudos to the people who made it. Annoying is that i am waiting for this confirmation mail for more than 45 minutes and still nothing. I blame my email for this. It seems it started acquiring some lag. I check my mail at 5 pm, empty. 6pm - empty. 7 pm -empty ( yes i know - too much time behind the computer - yes it's sad, get over it.. ) Finally at about 9pm i get the email. It says i recieved it at 4:47 pm ... WTF ?

If it keeps on doing this stuff to me, i might consider switching to Gmail completely..
