Star Simpson

Moving house is 1/3 furniture-based crossfit, 1/3 gazing wistfully at books (either the unread or the too long since-read) and (for me), 1/3 unearthing hardware I had apparently forgotten about. It's like laughing at technology from still-recent movies, but for items in my house.

Apparently, amongst dev boards and components I still posses a Coin as well as a Google Glass (!) why do I have one of those? A quick story.. about 4 years ago now, a friend and I bought a pair and opened it up, to publish the first internals teardown http://catwig.com/google-glass-teardown …

Some half a year or so after doing the teardown, Google did a recall-and-replace on Glass hardware. I didn't figure they'd send a replacement, but after getting a "send whatever you have" I dropped the parts in a box and shipped it away. Soon after.. a new pair arrived.

I have never used them, I do still have them. The prism coating has crazed somewhat, so I'm not sure if they're still all that functionally useful. But I'm open to ideas about what to do with these (now) historical artifacts.
