Segways for the disabled

I think it is wonderful that disabled vets are gaining mobility with the Segway, and seg4vets is facilitating it.

I remember when the Segway first came out, there was a lot of hoopla of how it would change the world. I think the thought was people would give up walking and cars for Segways. With the soaring price of gas, this could still happen.

Here is a great story about how the Segways are helping vets gain mobility.

I found a video of a guy who added a seat to a Segway. I found a SegSeat ($749?).

I doubt Jodie and I would have the balance to handle a Segway, but it does peak my interest. People look at you different when you are sitting in a scooter rather than being up at eye level.

I believe the Ibot uses the same technology, but I am sure at a much higher price ($29,000) vs the Segway ($5,000 - $6,000).

I would still like to try a Segway...

Easy Writer

I'd like to try one of these.



Handwriting is difficult for me. I have been typing since I was 7. I would love to have the freedom that handwriting gives. I wish I could try a Easy Writer on a tablet computer.



This still would not help me sign those pesky Visa receipts...not much left of the reciept when I'm done!
