The interesting thing about this to me, is that there are enough people who own jetpacks to justify an actual convention about it.<br \/>\nNext is a link to a stroy on Street Tech about <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.streettech.com\/modules.php?op=modload&#038;name=News&#038;file=article&#038;sid=1541\">personal, flying, transportation devices<\/a>, which reinforces the whole idea that a convention is really a good idea after all. (Trust me on this one and follow the link then check out the WASP. It looks so Logan&#8217;s Run to me that I just love it to death!)<br \/>\nBut, if that&#8217;s not enough, you can try either the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/gizmodo.com\/gadgets\/gadgets\/palmsize-micro-copter-looks-like-a-bell-jet-ranger-218308.php\">palmsize microcopter<\/a>, for fun, or a story on Livescience.com about <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.livescience.com\/technology\/061129_acoustic_levitation.html\">levitating small animals via sound waves<\/a>.  Yes, it&#8217;s actually a ral thing and not a hoax or clever picture.  Freaky.<\/p>\n<p>But, now it&#8217;s late, or early depending on your point of view, so since I don&#8217;t have either the<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/brookstone.com\/store\/product.asp?product_code=548404\"> breakfast art toaster<\/a> to welcome me in the morning or the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.laurasplan.com\/files\/pills.html\">antidepressant pillows<\/a> to welcome me to bed when I snap, I&#8217;d best get off to bed for a couple hours, before I do it all again!<br \/>\nHappy Friday!
