Thanks for the article, Robert. I too am a very happy Glass explorer. Thankfully my plans for Glass, before purchase, never included trolling Haight Street bars at midnight looking for someone to antagonize, etc., so I have never experienced any of the trouble that the media is so fond of reporting. I know, boring.

Actually, before purchase, I gave a bit of thought as to why I might buy this very expensive thing. Two applications came to mind and pursuaded me to go ahead and splurge.

The first was learning Tai Chi. I wanted to follow along with YouTube videos of Tai Chi masters, even while twisting, turning, bending, spinning and dipping. I felt this would improve my skills. It has. This is much better than trying to watch a tv/monitor screen and I do not know of another way to do this.

The second application is sculpting. I am a very poor but ardent one. I use Glass to keep photos of my subject right in front of me while working. There is no need to turn my head to study the photo and I can even superimpose it right over the piece under construction. Again, I know of no other way to do this.

Add to these points the philosophy of Glass: ubiquity, ( the computer is there when you need, gone when you don’t) and I have been very happy. I am looking forward to future products, from Google or not, that will continue progressing along this path.
