>So I got an email today from Google - looks like I'm one of the lucky ones that's been picked to get the Google Glass hardware. cost is around $1500 (ouch). What you guys think - does that seem worth it? Has anyone else out here got the hardware?

I would not buy one under any circumstances. As Robin Williams said of cocaine, it is God's way of telling us we have too much money.

He has wound up in the celebrity slumland of Being Robin Williams but when he was new on the scene he was something else. Reportedly whole pages of the script on the show that made him famous, "Mork and Mindy," consisted of "Mork being funny." He was that fast on his feet. Lots of comics can go for decades with the same repertoire. Williams is a high wire artist.
