I don't normally post on the board (I usually just read the blog), but I thought this might be of interest (if it hasn't been posted already):

there's actually a thread about it in the current news forum

they look pretty nice for a first effort. the fact that he cant take them off without the help of a tiny screwdriver (and a mirror, presumably) seems like a pretty major design flaw.

(insert picture from frank miller's ronin, where the boss wears some kind of hovering glasses without the help of any frames or piercings. sadly, i still haven't got a digital camera)

on the other hand, if you're already into modifying the body (piercings), you might as well go the whole hog: laser eye surgery, baby! best USD 3500 i ever spent.

I take my glasses off about 10 tmes a day to wash them, rest my eyes, etc . . . It would make me nuts if I had to unscrew them every time, and I forsee some odd interactions with people at work when I am sitting in my office tinking with my face with a phillips head screwdriver.
