Google Glasses: Appropriate? Awesome?!

ZOMG ...

Yes, like everyone, I am waiting to see if Project Glass by Google will be a wonderful, futuristic view into the world around us OR an absolute catastrophe due to the excessive distractions it may employ.

You know what, I don't care.  It's not any more distracting that texting while walking into traffic.  At least this time we're looking up and in the general direction while doing it.  What I'm really excited for is how I'm going to personalize it!  Is this going to be my opportunity to make notes that pop up at me every time I pass a bar that I've frequented?

GLASS NOTE: "Don't forget ... vom in the already trashed bathrooms!"

Or will it give me a chance to use my note-doodling smart phone to add little funny-drawn comments by my personalized Google Street View Snapshots?

GLASS SNAP: Politician I'm not fond of
GLASS DOODLE: "Wang."

Yes it will truly be my world, I can just see it (if I don't get hit by a car wearing them)!  There's a cute-sy heart-dotted swear word over everything I don't like.  There's commands in my own sassy voice telling me not to miss out on one hell of a up of coffee, "Left bitch!" And maybe my Google Glasses will even have me ready for a philosophical conversation with Hobo Lauren (one of my favorite street peeps in MSP), where my Glasses will pop up all the hobo signs I wrote to have a daily showdown with him...

GLASS NOTE: Hobo signs for Lauren:
"You think this just happens? $ please"
"Feel good about yourself and give me money"
"Fortune Fridays––your dollar is a fortune to me"
"(no words just a picture of me looking sad)"
"So Po'. $?"

Anyway––Project Glass... show me why I should buy you! Honestly, having an instructional video in my face, on command, on how to do the Dougie will probably be convincing enough for me. Although the camera hidden in my very eyewear certainly peaks my curiosity as well.

WWPD? (What will Pepsi do?)

They're beautiful––'nough said.  Actually no, there's plenty more to say...

With the Jean Paul Gaultier fashion designer Diet Coke bottles loose to impress upon the masses with the glory of Madonna-loving stripes, and more than a hint of naughty burlesque... how the "H-E-Double" is Pepsi going to compete?


Personally with Pepsi recent Michael Jackson can, how's about a little kick back to Coke with a lil' "hee-hee!" and a scannable batch of cans that are not only dressed up in one of MJ's classic album cover costumes, but with a free song from that particular album as well  (yeah!)

Have to say though, I wouldn't mind if Pepsi answered back with a Tosh.o cardigan collector's can––in fact let's make that happen, and then link it to several semi-serious and highly fashionable collector pics of Tosh being weird and naughty in the Gaultier fashion line.  Because I think we all love it when these two brands play it prank-style with each other.

In fact let's get Dr. Pepper in on this––I can see them doing this with Tosh (pretty please).
