...what I wanted to do. It was at the Holy Family Church in Hicksville, N.Y. Five guys were in the band. We all had the same outfits--a royal blue jacket with a black velvet collar and black pants. And we played a mix of Beatles songs and surf instrumentals. There were probably 150 to 200 people in the audience. I played an organ and sang only incidentally. But I was one of the guys in the band who sang the best, so they gave me a microphone. I loved the noise we were making. It clicked...
When Michael O'Neil was hospitalized for 10 days in 1998, he and fellow patients suffered "isolation, boredom, confusion and anxiety." So O'Neil, 30, founded Get Well Network, based in Washington, to make hospital TV screens interactive. At the click of a remote, patients can surf the Web, access e-mail and instant messaging, and play music or video games.

Driven by a two-stroke engine that generates 350 lbs. of thrust, the Jetboard can carve up even the glassiest surface in a sport that combines the ease of water skiing with the freedom of surfing. The award-winning engine, designed by a 53-year-old former pro surfer, weighs only 30 lbs. and is just 61/2 in. high. A flexible pole in the bow controls speed and direction. It also houses a speedometer, fuel gauge and kill switch...
