I hear the Rose Bowl had a rocket belt flight the other day.

In the U.S. Wired Science debuts this week on PBS stations, Wednesday night in some markets.

The pilot episode (available online) features rocket belt experimenters they interviewed at the Rocketbelt Convention I attended in September. It's a good piece, and incorporates nice historical footage of the Bell team. More clips are available on the show's site.

If you are the sort of viewer who freeze-frames the Tivo to catch gags on The Simpsons, watch for the interview with the Irishman in the hat-- Will Breaden-Madden. I appear subliminally with Will, wearing a red shirt. (Don't blink.)

I heard about the rocket belt at the Rose Parade too, but despite trying various news sites, flickr and other likely suspects I haven't found any pictures of it on-line yet. Lots of pictures of the 501st Legion though.
