I saw the plane when they came through St Louis last month, and snapped a few pictures. It's really impressive how big it was; at 208 feet the wingspan is a few feet shy of a 747-400. http://imgur.com/a/wXLUI

It looks like the main reason to pay is for data retention -- otherwise the free service only gives you 24 hours of data. IIRC that was also the distinction between the previous services New Relic offered, free for 24 hours, pay for more.

I really wish the folks publishing these apps would have a demo page or some information on their front page, rather than just immediately trying to get an OAuth token from me.

It's amazing how many people here are saying things like "my tumblr represents my identity and I do not want to lose my identity to Yahoo" and "I don't want to lose the only place where I can express myself."

I love the red and green lights on the top, as though it were a boat or plane, and without navigation lights you couldn't tell whether it was coming or going. It's like a cherry on top of all the other crazy.

Hey, thanks for this, this is awesome. I have been playing a bit with just some basic ruby scripts to shoot cards down to the device and your Sinatra examples on how to handle subscriptions from Glass look really, really helpful.
