Well, I've written software to do nearly everything I do with a computer for my wearable (jAugment). But, believe it or not, what I'm actually doing with it most of the time is... readind. Reading e-books, programming and listening to music. Sometimes taking notes, sometimes learning japanese characters... all very simple tasks. But I'm doing that while walking the woods and halls around here or while just sitting down for a minute. If you're asking yourself "so what". Think about it... it means you have a new problem you cna solve. Think about something, implement it and share it. ;) > Anyhow, I plan to take pics tomorrow of my newest monster and post them at > my site again under the "notes" section if anyone is interested. What that supposed to be a question or a statement ;) . Oh, by the way. There is always a thing you cna do with your wearable... make it better.
