Wallbounce

Do you have a extra $100,000 just burning a hole in your pocket? Chances of that are on par with the chance of me actually getting any homework done less than three hours before it's due (this blog included). Yet I digress. A recent Columbus Dispatch article alerted my attention to a rather bewildering, yet highly engrossing, company's website:

Wallbounce LLC

Created by Robin Wilson, Wallbounce seeks to fill a rather slim niche: if you have some extra money, any adventure can be yours, no planning on your part whatsoever (aside from signing the check, of course). Feel like flying on a private plane to a luxury yacht for shark diving off the coast of Mexico? Check. That is, a check for one hundred grand will get that done. Other "experiences" range from the rather pricey (a professionally-produced custom TV-style biography is but a mere $11,500) to the relatively affordable (ten NASCAR laps with Dale Jarrett for the bargain deal of $625).

Though the company's offerings are by no means strictly travel-related, it does strike a chord: the ease of the internet and letting someone else do all the dirty work with the result of fulfilling a lifetime dream (if driving around in circles at extremely high rates of speed is a lifetime dream of yours). And that's something everyone loves.
