Re: "It's a cool gadget and I have fun wearing it in public."

Having a camera pointed in your general direction is enough to give most people pause. I have really bad anxiety, and if someone wearing Glass looks in my direction, I will be made incredibly uncomfortable. It's the kind of thing that makes me want to never leave my house. Not saying you should live your life based on how I feel, but I think people who wear GG should at least be aware of the (great) potential for making others feel uncomfortable.

The example you used for clever wordplay, "gloominati," is actually considered a portmanteau word. It's the result of combining multiple words to create a new word. (I say this not to be a pedant, but because I learned the term recently and was amused that we actually have a word for it.)

With the exception of the last one, every instance of "their" in your post should have been "there." I say this not to be a pedant, but because it made your otherwise good post difficult to read.

That pop-out menu also leaves artifacts on the page.
