I like Thad Starner's other designs[0] a lot more than Google Glass.
Granted, they are bulky and dorky, but at least they had a keyboard and a hackable operating system (linux with an emacs-based ui if I remember well).
I wouldn't mind a setup with a tiny screen, a wire running from the back of my glasses to my pocket, connected to a raspberry pi or similar (heck, even my cell phone) and some sort of chorded keyboard that I can use without looking at it.

- jimrandomh 12y agoThey had Bluetooth keyboard support, and ripped it out in a (forced) update. They almost had a hackable operating system - it was possible to set up a Linux install in a chroot and use that - but they went around breaking things, and since there's not much point without the keyboard, no one's gotten it working again.
