Frequency Unheard

A friend send me a link to a site I actually wish he had not – Sounds i’ve heard places all over and I’d say “ow” but it doesn’t quite cover it. A high frequency sound that apparently if your over 25 shouldn’t be able to hear – makes me feel ill when I hear it.

LINK: The Teenager Sound Test

There is a lot of equipment that sends out these high tones, but at the moment some shops are putting them outside to stop “youths” hanging around – it hurts, maybe its a human rights issue.

Different equipment that makes these sounds: Lights, Computer monitors, TVs, security cameras among other things. Friends used to laugh when I said I could hear the lights but it actually hurts – right behind the eyes and back of head and often the feeling of sea sickness too.

I recall a few months back while I was helping deliver leaflets I heard one of these noise makers in someones garden… Took me a while to figure where it was coming from. Some people use them in gardens to keep animals out – I found it an annoyance and animals can usually hear a lot better – is this a case for animal cruilty?

Be glad if you can not hear them.

Career Change… Maybe

I’ve always done something with computers, I’ve always been able to work with them, learn how to fix and adapt quite quickly to what I’ve been needed to do.

I’ve tried the IT technician route fixing and maintaining things, programming, Web Development, graphics, encryption and want to try something new that will stretch me.

I’ve realised so much over the past few years that I can do a lot more than i’ve ever given myself credit for. I have so much more potential and i’ve not been tapping into it expect for set bursts where i’ll get loads done and then back to normal – I think I need to change that normal a little.

I’m looking into courses to become an electrician. Electric circuits and how things work, and can be fixed have interested me for a long time and at school I enjoyed it but was good with computers so followed that path. Now i’m looking back and wondering what else I was good at and trying that too.

I’ve looked for part time courses in my area but so far no luck, everywhere there is a course is at least an hours drive away from home. To work around my current employment seems difficult. I’ve seen some express courses where its around 3 months – 3 to 4 weeks full time and the rest part time.

So I guess partly IT based as in technology and electics but a change of direction.

The Banana

I’ve heard a few things about bananas and its use and supposive history. I’ve not researched it so what I say here is probably hearsay…

Is it an energy food or something that helps you rest… some ingredients give energy, others help you relax – it contains minerals, fits nicely in the hand and is easy to eat for young and old with its squishyness.

Is it a genetically made fruit? well in theory everything is but man made genetically over many centuries? I don’t know but its like a super fruit providing so much for people.

Random banana rant over…

Salsa Tuesdays

I’ve been going to a class on Tuesdays at The Arc for a few months now and been enjoying the classes. Over the last 2 months thou its felt I was learning nothing – I could see i’d done things a certain way but when asked I couldn’t do it.

Salsa Dancing

They’ve changed the style of teaching these last few weeks thou, and my learning has changed too – they seem to be doing it all a lot faster. I can see where a movement is going now instead of wondering how does this fit anywhere and its a lot easier.

I think its been too slow to learn. Now that I see where something fits together its a lot easier to learn… Just need to learn the names really to it all now :)
