Using Google Glass: at the Indy 500 and Coca-Cola 600A day in the life of a hungover cyborg

.................................................
At one point during the evening Sarah Palin arrived at the hotel and made a smooth, practiced pass through the bar shaking hands and taking photos with a long line of admirers. I stood next to her for several minutes but she wouldn't take a photo with me or wear Glass. "What's in it for us?" asked her husband Todd, staring squarely at the camera and screen floating just above my hazy, bourbon-enhanced eyes. "We don't know what company you're with."
When I told him I wasn't after an endorsement but was rather a journalist interested in her opinion of Glass, he icily asked me to leave.

He was (as far as I can tell) in a bar open to spectators. It didn't seem to be a private function.
Delusions of grandeur, Todd? Nah, just greed.
And this guy could have been America's first bloke.

Todd Palin: " What's in it for us, we don't know what company you are with"
Me: " I'm with "Opportunist Magazine" a subsidiary of Grifter Inc.
