I know it may sound like science fiction, but humans are flying, and once this comes to walmart, blue-collar types can strap on their jetpack and take off to the skies. They will probably be able to even exchange their rocket fuel tanks just like we all exchange our propane tanks for gas grills right now.

Details of rocket boots:
I want one. Period. Look for it at a Walmart / Target / Shopping Center near you in five years time. Be prepared to sign a lengthy liability agreement as well as taking a lengthy training course to make you certified in rocket powered human flight.

Ready to take flight?

Very briefly:
I use twitter to track:
- traffic around the beltway
- keywords of interest that people are using (like iphone for instance)
- engage influentials in conversations
- follow interesting peoples’ thoughts
- follow news makers and news stories
- rant at the world without imposing on the world
More on twitter.com in future posts. In the meantime, start following my twitters at twitter.com/constantskeptic
and no, I am NOT getting paid to push this service, since it is after all, free.

This is a clip from the movie High School Confidential. A teenager belts off a beatnik poem. It gets better after the opening few seconds of credits.
