Brain Fitness Program... New Year's Resolution?

Ok, despite the plucky title, this concept has serious merit.

Scientific Learning Corp. has deveoped a computer program that exercises processing skills in the brain and works to "trigger change in the brain and provide an optimal foundation for learning and reading success." The company also did studies on dyslexic childeren and found thier program helped "rewire children's brains — correcting the sound processing problem and improving reading".

As a parent, this is certainly something to look into and pay attention to.

For your very own James Bond like escape!

Troy Widgery of Jetpack International (Jet P.I.) have just launched probably the coolest thing out there on the market. Yes, its a jet pack, pretty much like we saw James Bond pilot back in the 1960's in "Thunderball" but its actually out there to purchase for the "regular guy or gal".

Well, maybe not the "regular" guy or gal with a price tag of $200,000 but you do get two weeks of training with it. The jet pack is fueled by rocket fuel and has a capacity for a 9 minute flight. The fuel costs for an average flight is about $20.

Eric Scott had the coolest job. He was the test pilot and now is seen doing appearances around the world. (Did you see him make an entrance during Monday Night Football??)

If you want to see a video of the flight: http://money.cnn.com/video/#/video/fsb/2007/11/28/fsb.next.little.thing.jet.pack.fsb
