The Elusive Jetpack
by JeremyA story about a soon-to-be-released jetpack will greatly disappoint my lovely wife Cara who, never forgetting a promise made to the wide-eyed little girl she once was that the skies would some day be a joyous carnival of smiling travelers soaring and looping their way to and fro with the aid of their rocket-powered knapsacks, has been marking time in a Dickensian vigil of forbearance for the glorious day that never arrives.
The story turns out, you see, to be a shockingly cruel tease. To the heartbroken, a wanton metaphor is as good as a sharp stick in the eye. No one, except maybe Glenn Reynolds, understands her pain.
Still, sounds kinda cool. It should be a bit easier to create plugins for Mozilla Firefox.
