1st I too am interested in the hack, see below.

2nd, I have had the M1 for 24 hours. I can already tell you that it does
stick out to far.
The problem is that because it is out so far the over-head band (like
headphones) does
not give the support to keep the display perfectly steady.  What I did
was slide the 
whole thing back a little. Then I bring the left side (right if you use
it over your left eye)
back even more.  Now the "arm" is very close to my head. Just above my
eyebrow the 
"arm" rest against my skin.  It does not bother me.  The result of all
this is the display 
is very close to my eye, peripheral vision is good, and the display is
very stable. I do 
doubt that I could read while jogging with this setup.

  I like it too, and I'm considering it, but I've got two questions
here:

          1. Is the "glasses hack" going to be on the MIT site anytime
soon?
          2. The display seems to stick out pretty far, isn't that
  disastrous to peripheral vision?  If so, is there any way to modify it
to
  look more like the private eye?
