A shout out to Sean McCracken, Erie Times-News reporter, for a great article (I may be biased) on the three Erie-ites chosen for the Google Glass Explorer Project. Also shout out to Deb Morton, Mercyhurst University media relations extraordinaire, who made it all happen.
I found it remarkable that of the 8,000 people in the world chosen for the project three were from Erie. I guess one reason may be that, as you may or may not know, Erie, Pa., is a popular test market (see the list on the right). Or, on the other hand, maybe Erie-ites are just that technologically savvy.
While I still wait, impatiently I must admit, for Google to message us about the Project's status, I came across this SXSW Demo by Google Senior Developer Advocate for Project Glass Timothy Jordan, which I think is a more in-depth explanation than my previous posts.
