I was interviewed by my friend Ade last week about wearing my Google Glass!</div>

<div style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">
We had the real camera and mics and everything. When she asked me to describe reactions to the Glass that I usually receive, I described it as "having a really cute puppy. Everyone wants to stop and pet it, and there is always a double take then a large squeal." At the airport yesterday, a random guy that I told that to decided that really, it is more like having a baby - because not everyone is a fan, unlike cute animals. He might be right.</div>

As soon as I get Wanderbee (an app that lets me post to my blog directly from the Google Glass) up and running again, I will be alllll over this blog! Until then, make sure to subscribe to my video channel, http://www.youtube.com/user/htmella. I post new videos there as I take them, and am always taking requests.</div>

It has been quite a while, as I was waiting (very impatiently) for my Google Glass invitation to be sent to me. For two/three months I looked very much like this:<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lz5i9bvmX91qdeocv.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="176" src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lz5i9bvmX91qdeocv.gif" width="320" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Project Glass even Twittered me several times telling me not to give up hope. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
But then, two weeks ago, the moment came! I GOT THE INVITE!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_macn58PCpE1r210k9.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="228" src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_macn58PCpE1r210k9.gif" width="320" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
But then I didn't have the money until the following week because PAYDAYZ:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mevun3BIyh1r79k32.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mevun3BIyh1r79k32.gif" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
And then because I had to wait, all of the June appointments were gone!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m1x80pgkGa1rpl3bro1_500.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="181" src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m1x80pgkGa1rpl3bro1_500.gif" width="320" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
But then, I went ahead and booked my appointment for July 3rd, at 4PM. Which really, in the scheme of things, isn't too too far away. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4xwmspqRt1qik9j4.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4xwmspqRt1qik9j4.gif" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So now I am in waiting mode (again), and so close I can taste it. Time for some more logistics (like tethering and whether to switch to Android), and planning whether to dress up for my Glass fitting, and making a list of all of the cool things to do once I have it. Basically, I need it to be July 3rd right now, because: </div>

<br />
1) If the glasses are Wifi only, I might have to get the Hotspot feature on my phone because what is the point of not being connected everywhere?<br />
<br />
2) What color should I pick if I get the choice?<br />
<br />
Well, at least I have you all for the latter - tell me, which color would you pick given the choice?<br />
<br />

<br />
I was actually in the car on the way back to the Milwaukee airport with my Sales exec, Craig, and had a mini freak-out in his rental car. There may or may not have been hyperventilation involved and a bit of this:<br />

<br />
Not many details yet, other than I need to figure out where I am going to get the $1,500 from (so much for buying furniture for the new apartment I guess), but I will update when I have information other than internal squeeing.<br />
