3D printed jet engine
Hmmmm, technology...another topic for this blog I guess...
I came across this article on the Kneeslider and had to share.
Truly amazing what 3D printing is starting to achieve. I'd suggest that development in this area is going to continue to get more impressive and will make us rethink how we manufacture and transport items - why ship things when you can make 'em locally.
I wonder how long before we've all got some sort of 3D printer in the home making basic items...

That's it
Yep, our walking challenge has finished so I can put my feet up eh?
I ended up with 441,994 steps in 6 weeks for an average of 10,524 per day - so I just scraped in to meet the 10,000 per day.
Because I'm a geek I also converted the steps to kilometres using the same multiplication factor as I used on my pedometer - 80cm strides - which I think is about right according to some GPS tracks I also took. Anyway, the magic total number ended up as 353km. That's a fairly decent walk eh?
So now I have to decide whether to carry on including increased walking (more than a simple dog walk) or put more work in at the gym. Currently I'm thinking of a mix of both but am really keen to get back into the gym more often and to push myself. Time will tell...
