[Wear-Hard] Yet another Sony UX based Wearable

[tetsu yatsu]

I thought it was some simple metal working. There are light sheet
metals you can buy that are pretty easy to bend. You can buy the metal
sheers at most AutoParts stores or HomeDepots. Not sure where to buy
sheet metal. It might be heavier than I imagine, but it looked like a
practical, sturdy mount. I might try it now.

None of your pictures have your UX, or how you mount it!  I was
planning on using this Eee PC, thinking it was slim enough to fit in a
backpack, but so far I've found using a backpack everywhere is a
little cumbersome.

Try running some passive computer processes and walking around with
your wearable, until you have an input device. Walk around scanning
for wifi, if you can get gps sensors or something. Context relevant
information is just as cool for your wearable experience as what a
keyboard or pointer input could give you.

I used to walk around with a little underpowered Jornada 720
connecting to open access points and just streaming network traffic
everywhere I went. It was a good experience seeing the streams of
information  coarsing through our bodies everywhere we go.

My ultimate goal is something that I can be wearing, and using while still carrying on a normal conversation with friends, without making it look like I'm playing a gameboy or something while talking to them.
