While chatting with Tami yesterday she expressed a serious fascination with the TankChair. I thought of another wheelchair worth mentioning: the iBot, a gyroscopically balanced chair invented by inventor Dean Kamen, who then used the same technology to develop the Segway.

And really, Jon doesn’t need one. He pushes himself around at school, and elsewhere when he has strong opinions on things. Like when we’re shopping at MEC and he just wants to ride the elevator.
