Forget the Segway, here it really is...
Toyota is test driving a flying car out in the Mojave Desert.
This really could be something that changes the way cities are designed. This
NyPost.com article says that "small private airports are disappearing rapidly", but I say with these things hitting the market, that may all change.

Mr. Mom
Last night I was awakened around 4 AM to find my wife hugging our toilet bowl, puking. I haven't had this experience since she was pregnant with our son. It was sorta deja vu. The whole entire time in my head I had to fight the idea that she might either still be pregnant, or just pregnant again. It was weird.
Since she is sick, I've taken the day off to help her around the house, and with our son. Today is her "errand day". It's the day she takes me into work so she can have a car and go and do the stuff that requires a car to accomplish. So now I get to do these errands. And take care of an eight-month-old while doing it. At times, I'm sure I am also going to have to take care of a 23-year-old as well.
One experience that has already taken place this morning was... My son and I were both fed, bathed, and dressed for the day. My wife threw in a Sesame Street video for our son before she jumped into the shower... My immediate plan was to turn it off and start playing some Tony Hawk 3 on
Gamecube. With work, family, church, and Counter Strike, I rarely get a chance to play my Gamecube anymore. So I was eagerly looking forward to playing. But then I walked in on my son watching the Sesame Street video... and looking at him smiling and dancing about, I couldn't turn it off. So here I am... typing... while he apparently has lost all interest in the video... Oh well... how fun it must be to be a kid.
You are worth exactly: $2,096,174.00
According to
HumanForSale.com I am worth $2,096,174.00 USD. And
"We hope you can find somebody who is wealthy enough to afford you." The test is fairly fast to take, and totally meaningless. Have fun.
