Unbridled Optimism
It’s rare that I see something that makes me feel like we technonerds are doing unqualifiedly good things for the world.
So, I’d like to thank Dean Kamen for just… doing good things.

...I’m a candidate for stable mental health. But the truth be known, I am insane with long, horrible fits of sanity. Now, if you can make insanity work for you, that’s actually called creativity. If you can’t, that’s called a menace to society. Thank you.

Yeah, that’s really cool. The level of control that they get is quite impressive.
That man just amazes me sometimes. I almost feel sorry for the test pilot, having to take that off when he goes home.
I was thinking the exact same thing, Chris. To go 26 years without, and to get it back for a day, 2, 10, whatever, and then having it taken away again. Only I don’t “almost” feel sorry for him
True enough; almost doesn’t really cover it. From what I can tell, though, I would be willing to bet that he’s going to be near first in line for a production model, given what I know of Dean Kamen’s charitable nature. So there’s that, at least.
