My dad is a dentist, and when he updated his equipment in his office, he brought home one of the chairs (without all of the extra attachments). It took 3 moving guys to lift the damn thing, and it sat in our finished basement for half a decade.

It was kind of comfortable, but it was from the 70s (and was a terrible shade of mint green) so it wasn't super ergonomic. It was fun to ride up and down on, though.

I've had Glass since July, and I have found that much of its use in my personal experience comes down to how I feel in any given situation.

I do drive with Glass on, but it is generally sleeping, unless I am asking for directions to a new place. As for restaurants and the like, I feel like there generally is no need for me to wear it, as it just brings up uncomfortable feelings in those around me, and it's easier to just leave it in the car.

Where Glass really shines is in the great outdoors. When I'm taking a walk through my history-filled city, or out playing with my kids, this is where I use Glass the most. Not having to take myself out of the situation to pull my phone out to take a photo, or get a quick snippet of info about a nearby point of interest are the killer features for me.

Is there anywhere that an interested Android user could sign up to get an email when the Android version is available?

I'd be happy to help beta test, and I'm sure other Android users would be interested in helping out as well.
