another post for the week

Today, i am going to be active in the gym. I am a transfer student here at SRU and i enjoy the ARC. However, there are some things i really do not care for at the SRU ARC facility. I do not like the fact that they close at 11pm, yet, the friggin' locker rooms close at 1030pm. If they are going to advertise the ARC being open till 11pm, they need to have their facilities open till 11pm. I understand the pool area being closed earlier because of the cleaning and so forth. Anyways, not to run on and on, i am going to end this blog for now.

Today in class, we learned some of the uses of technology in Physical Education classes. I think it is very useful especially with younger children. It is also useful for those who are new to a different sport they have never experienced. For those who are wanting to increase their performance or style could enhance their skills and form by watching themselves through technology. There should never be a reason to take technology for granted.

Coolest Technology

There is an abundance of "Cool Tecnology". The coolest technology i have ever seen or experienced other than just cell phones and the internet. Being in the military for a while, you see so many advances in technology. Aircraft alone can make one astonished. There are so many manuevers, stunts, navigation systems, weapons systems, and speed involved in the military. Other than the aircraft, there is a weapons system called the CROWS system that is pretty cool. This system is mounted on vehicle so heavy weapons gunners can maintain inside the armored vehicle at all times and control the weapon with a joystick and a computer screen. There is just some of the "Cool Technology" i have experienced in my time.
