Funky Dave got himself a pedometer. According to the guys in the office that is something to do with walking on children, but it's not. Honest. Dave walks a lot by shunning the tube system mostly. I walk a little and so I thought I'd get one. It has a combined FM radio as well with shoddy ear pieces. Yep - it's a hopeless gimmick.
There are some interesting facts to come out, assuming we believe the read-out. For instance, on an average day I walk about 2 miles. That's even when I drive to the tube.
However, there are some boring stats which the tedious amongst me tend to trot out. For instance I had two pints of Cornish Tribute on Friday night and, during that time I stayed at the bar. But apparently I walked 0.03 of a mile. Good huh? I then had more beer and red wine etc. but didn't measure those.
Watch out for more interesting measurements soon.
Maybe it got pished as well through osmosis. When it couldn't see the numbers anymore, it threw up.
Now wouldn't you also like intellegent electronics like this.
