some random things

Thanks for the comments!
After the class last monday, I was really confused because I got my FE concept wrong and felt like my project is too big, not focused etc.
I am still feeling somewhat overwhelmed in terms of how to approach this interesting but bulky project.. but before class today I will write some better and more focused posting!

with that said, something interesting :
I was surfing the web and found this:

electricity-generating gym for the homeless!
I thought electricity generating gym was really cool, because it incorporates green concept and exercising in an innovative way. I was thinking maybe I will make membership fee free or deductible for those who regularly come to the gym and exercise by tracking their exercising records/electricity-generating records ... or even having some benefit programs based on the members' records of the gym use. However, I think I was going too far. The electricity generated by biking at the gym is not very significant amount, and facilitating gym with electricity-generating bikes will be a lot of money too. So, I thought it is not for my project. not practical..
But, if somebody's interested, it might be good to incorporate this idea in their project.
