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. ;)

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.
