Google Glass pre-order customers will get regular updates

People who have forked out $1,500 to pre-order Google Glass will at least have something to fill their time while they wait, with a special Google+ circle set up for the lucky few.The Google Glass Augmented reality specs are causing a fair amount of excitement in the tech world right now, not least because of the impressive aerial entrance the device made at Google's I/O.The people who coughed up to get in early with the project are being termed Glass Explorers – and they have no problem being transparent with the limited information Google gives them. Phandroid has published the first post, and promised to keep the world updated on just what Google is "glass-bagging" on about in its (not very) private group.
"Greetings, Glass Explorers! It was great to meet you a few weeks ago at I/O," said the first post."As you know, being an Explorer is about being part of a unique, trusted community that will help shape the future of Glass."We're going to start sharing private updates with you on Google+. We'll be posting exclusive content (see Sergey's post, above), as well as inviting you to special events and Hangouts where you'll get the chance to meet the team."
The Pomona Host Lions Club has asked residents to bring non-perishable food items and used eyeglasses to the group's collection table at the Pomona Band Concert performances each Thursday evening during July and August.Google Glasses-Inspired Eyewear Translates Foreign Language Into Real-Life Subtitles.The concerts are held at the G. Stanton Selby Bandshell at Ganesha Park in Pomona, beginning at 8 p.m. The Lions' collection is open prior to the concert and during intermission.All collected food will be donated to the Inland Valley Hope Partners' Pomona Beta Center, where an average of 2,800 homeless or low-income people are given emergency food each month.
The used eyeglasses will be refurbished and distributed at Lions Vision Clinics through the Lions in Sight and the California Lions Friends in Sight programs.The Lions in Sight program provides glasses to the needy in developing nations, and Friends in Sight distributes free glasses at vision clinics in Southern California. Howard "Bo" Hurley received a citation from International for bringing in two new members.He also received his membership pin for 30 years of service.Also receiving membership pins were George Newman, for 15 years, and John Elliott, for 25 years.
