He's interested in Google/Glass and is sharing his interest with hn.
Though it does seem he submits his own site (glass-apps.org) a lot, it's not
the only site he submits. Also, a lot of great contributors to hn
regularly submit their own sites, including a number of people on the
hn leader board (see "Lists" link at the bottom of most hn pages).
Also, he's not trying to hide his identity.

I've got nothing against anonymous or pseudonymous posters on hn,
but there is some correlation between anon accounts and abuse like
spamming or trolling (i.e. throw-away accounts).
If his submissions don't interest you then that's fine. Don't
up-vote them. We're all different, and we all have different
interests, but on rare occasions (i.e. everything on HN front
page), a enough people agree something is interesting and
up-vote it.
Heck, for me academic papers are interesting and I occasionally
submit them here, but I'd be nuts to think the masses on hn agree
with me that they're interesting.
