Through the looking Glass we go...

Here we go, everyone!  This is an excerpt of the email I sent to several med students that Laura had helped invite after I randomly found her on Twitter and asked her for help getting the word out:

"Y'all emailed me in response to the favor I asked of Laura (thanks!) to let med students know that I had a Google Glass unit and wanted to give everyone a chance to try it out, think creatively and/or critically, and let the world know about their thoughts through a blog (tentatively: http://bigredglass.blogspot.com ).  I really appreciate all your interest!


...
[Here are the rules]
a) do no harm to patients or to my Google Glass unit (i.e. don't break or lose the actual equipment)
b) respect patient privacy and try to go above and beyond what HIPAA requires
c) make it your job to find the next person who's turn it is and get it safely to them and teach them how to use it
e) when you receive it, email me with your name & contact info
d) when you hand it off, email me the next person's name & contact info, and give them this set of rules
d) write at least one blog post -- doesn't matter how short or so long, and you can do more than one, before, during, or after you're done letting the world know what you think.  even better if you write multiple blog posts over time as your thoughts develop.
e) invite at least one other Cornell med student and/or doctors along for the ride and send them along to me if they're interested
f) have fun
