More Glasstron hacking

More pictures of senseless acts of violence to an innocent little
wearable display can be found here:

After performing the monocular hack, I ripped out a few extra bits,
installed a headphone jack, and re-installed the cyberpunky cover with
a slice removed.  Nothing terribly complex if you know which end
of a soldering iron to hold...

While I'm at it, are there any good wearable-type input devices that
use USB?  I'd love to get a Twiddler but the subnotebook I'm
using doesn't have a keyboard *or* serial port.  Currently, I'm
using a Victor Handy Mouse (http://www.victor.co.jp/mouse/handy.html)
for input, but while a good idea the implementation is a bit
clunky, it feels too much like a joystick in disguise.  Are there
chording drivers for plain-vanilla USB numeric keypads?

Cheers,
