Google Glass Meets Google Polymer

Needing to launch a web page to test and deploy Park University's first glassware application open to the general public, I thought it would be a great change to also start playing with Google Polymer.

For those who do not know, Google Polymer is an HTML5, CSS3, Javascript tool that makes responsive web design a snap.  Sites can be built quickly and be instantly optimized for the desktop, smartphone and tablet screens.

While the site is not yet ready to launch, I thought I would give you all a sneak peek.  Enjoy!

Homer's BleeBloop Glasses #OogleGoggles

Last night Fox invited the Simpsons to join the Google Glass Explorer program and hilarity followed.

As we have come to expect from the show, the writers effectively used satire to address the very question Google's Explorer program was setup to examine.  Where should society set limits on what should be kept private or shared? When does the easy availability of information transition from useful to hindrance?
