Proof (in my humble opinion) that the fedora is a timeless part of any wardrobe:
For those of you who haven't heard about Google's Project Glass:

You could be wearing a space suit and riding a dinosaur and that hat would still look fantastic.

Nope-even a fedora can't make denial of a reasonable right to privacy look cool.

That's a very real issue. We (people) had to develop new social norms to deal with the proliferation of cell phones. Assuming Google Glass ever makes it to the consumer market and catches on (two
very big ifs), we'll do the same. New technology, once adopted by enough of the population, almost always requires new norms.

I posted that at the lounge a couple of weeks back. We had a good laugh.

I know it's not the same but those glasses remind me of the tool used in the movie Strange Days from the mid 90's. The ability to record what you see can open a lot of windows. Granted it's not connected via wifi to your cerebral cortex and used as a drug but still imagine where we'll be in 10 more years
It's interesting to say the least.

This is precisely what came to mind. Also, nice hat, Michael. Great crease. I love it.
