Is Resistance Futile? or How I learned to stop worrying and love Google Glass

glasshole I’ve finished the first draft of my Google Glass piece for Asimov’s, twenty two hundred words, just a teaser, really, just a taste. It’s been a strange week, working with these things. Becoming Jaycutus of the Borg. Will I buy a production model of these things, when they go on sale in six months or so?

I’m not sure.

I find the technology attractive and repulsive.

I have not gotten than hang of framing things in Glass yet. I need to just spend a day taking thousands of pictures to get the feel of it, I suspect.
