Standing on glass at a great height

Last week, the Sears Tower opened the "Ledge", where you can be 103 floors above the ground, standing on glass to get a great view of Chicago.

My fear of heights is now fear of flash video

The most dangerous path in the world. NSFA (acrophobics)

Extra space

This apartment is so cramped. I wish I could find a little extra space. (previously)

Get high at your next meeting

Bored with that same old business meeting? Why not try a dinner in the sky? But if it's a view you're after, you could probably take a few of your clients here for the same price. (flash & sound alert; film clip on main site is slow to load)

Up in the air, junior birdmen

It's a bird, it's a plane! , no it's the Special Forces using strap-on stealth wings to zoom silently into battle. We've all fantasized about jet packs, but being dropped from a plane with wings on your back is a silent way to travel great distances before opening a parachute for landing, just like daredevil Felix Baumgartner, who soared across the English Channel. Who wants to go first?

Walk out over 4,000 feet of thin air... Man, it gives me the willies just to think about being out there.
