Acceptance tweet from Google

Just before 7pm this evening, Google tweeted my acceptance in their "Glass Explorers" program, which means I'll be one of the first batch of of folks to test this awesome new technology. I'm totally chuffed.

Here's what I tweeted as my application, back in February:

Glass will enable dynamic hyperlocal citizen journalism, real-time research/fact checking, and next-gen community engagement #ifihadglass

I'll obviously be posting more on this. Right now, I'm just over the moon.

Update: Here's list of all the Explorers notified on Twitter put together by Andrej Karpathy at Stanford.
