We think technology should work for you—to be there when you need it and get out of your way when you don’t.
A group of us from Google[x] started Project Glass to build this kind of technology, one that helps you explore and share your world, putting you back in the moment. We’re sharing this information now because we want to start a conversation and learn from your valuable input. So we took a few design photos to show what this technology could look like and created a video to demonstrate what it might enable you to do.
Please follow along as we share some of our ideas and stories. We’d love to hear yours, too. What would you like to see from Project Glass?

It's March 2012 and I'm still not sure what to use Google+ for.
Private sharing still seems best handled by email.
Public sharing still seems best handled by my Twitter, Tumblr, Instagram, Pinterest, and Facebook.
Maybe Google+ is for people who want to share publicly but don't have Twitter, Tumblr, Instagram, Pinterest, or Facebook?
It's also unclear how to get more followers on Google+. Will my follower count always be smaller here than on Twitter and Facebook? Is that by design?
Feel free not to answer; I'm just thinking out loud.
Wallpaper* is here.

Wallpaper* is here. Not as much of a fan since Conde Nast bought them. Of course that just means we now have Monocle
In any case it's always good to see the Walker Art Center doing the good things they do.

Just caught up 10 days worth of Neighborhood posts. I now have Vox fatigue combined with Vox guilt. I didn't even read comments, for shame :( After this post I'll need to check on the 'ol LiveJournal Friends page. Don't even ask about the umpteem BlogLines blogs stuck at 200 posts...
Hi5 has a new Skins system that actually can make profile pages look good. I had some input early on and made sure Vox and the SixApart styles were part of the inspiration. It's coming out really well and we've received over 200 submissions. Check out the snazzy new profile page? Designers can check out the specs page.
Embeds are evil. They mess up divs and tables and are often pasted in haphazardly. Amit came up with an amazing solution. Use JTidy to clean up the user submitted content. Tags match and broken html goes bye-bye!
Now back to the super-secret Hi5 Project Funk.
