I think the best reason for doing this is the same reason many people
have for climbing mountains: because we can. I think the fun is not so
much in the end result as it is in getting there. Sure, I can buy a
laptop and have a computer pretty much whenever I need one. But that's
not quite as fun as having a computer attached to my belt with a
see-thru head-mounted display scrolling the latest headlines in front
of my eyes.

Besides, if everyone had built a wearable system they were happy with
and then just stopped tinkering, traffic on this list would be pretty
much nil. ;)
