Yes, funny. Back to the roots. Seems like shrinking my Agfa ISO Rapid II. I wonder why they don't mount it on a baseball-cap just to optimize the idiot-look.

Not my world anymore.

It's a lot like talking to an invisible person with over-the-ear bluetooth gizmos.  Even now I try to distance myself from people who do that!  Which is what I will do with Google gazers.

This world becomes more and more complex. Recently Seattle's 5 Point Café banned Google Glass in advance and encouraged ass-kicking for violators. Funny that this cafe maintains an own surveillance camera...

I love it but I can see some Google Glass induced back problems developing for photographers…

Thank God for Google Glass. Now I can go back to wearing my pocket protector.

The camera in the current "Explorer" edition of the Glass sucks. It's much worse than, say, than the iPhone 5's camera. It will be another two or more product cycles before you see serious photographers in any numbers using them.
