[Photo taken while walking in the Missouri State campus wearing Glass] Sometimes I get a great idea and don't have time to write about it at that moment. This is one of those times. It's probably no secret that I was part of the Google Glass beta and that I used that time fairly purposely, … Continue reading Post-Glass post
An Explorer no more
The Explorer program for Google Glass officially ended January 19th, an unexpected end, but not really. I did not expect it on that day, but I expected it. Glass as-is is not panning out to be the consumer device Google hoped for, but I can't say it is a lost cause. I believe its best … Continue reading An Explorer no more
Google Glass and Project 365
Here is the secret to the photography habit: wear Google Glass every day. On the days I did not wear Glass--usually because the frames are not very flattering and my regular frames really are flattering--I lived through a series of moments, never predictable, when I would wish I was wearing Glass so that I could … Continue reading Google Glass and Project 365
Glass errors: hand in shot
Some errors are typical of Google Glass photos, the most prevalent being the hand or hair inadvertently creeping into the shot.
Wants Glass, Please.
This Missouri State student would love to have Google Glass. He doesn't know all it can do, but he's ready to have hands-free photos, video, texting, and email. That seems to be the big draw for most people who see me wearing it--the convenience.

This is my evening class, full of future middle school and high school English teachers, most of them in their last semester before student teaching. The reaction to Google Glass in this environment is interesting-- a bit positive, and fairly curious about its applications … Continue reading Back to teaching
Photographer’s rights
Living so close to St. Louis, the outrageous denial of reporters' right to photograph and record in public shocked me to the core. As a participant in Project 365, I think about what is permissible and what is not as a photographer and a videographer. As one who wears Google Glass, I feel I am … Continue reading Photographer’s rights
Check-in with Google Glass
Questions, They got questions. I got a check-in email from Glass support and the questions were good, but since I am who I am, I wish I could have said more for each response, although they did give text boxes for about half the questions. Luckily, that is what blogging is for. How satisfied are … Continue reading Check-in with Google Glass
Waiting
I have my photo a day but no access right now. It should show up on my feed in the morning. Google changed the options for sending video and photos via "share" and I haven't found the best option yet for media I want but may not want to immediately share via Facebook or Google+. … Continue reading Waiting
Landscaping
As part of some fresh landscaping, the azalea bush lost about a foot and a half in height.
