My New Tech Toy: Oakley O Rokr Pro

I’ve been busy this past year with getting the textbook published and finishing the dissertation. Busy enough that I barely blogged (obviously I’m trying to change that). And although many people assumed that I would see downtime after graduation, I’ve really been going mach 10 since mid-May. Last night, however, I finally had the time, energy, and money (yes, summer school does pay!) to reward myself for a year well done (did I say I finally finished my dissertation?). I got myself a pair of Oakley O Rokr Pros. They are Oakley glasses with built in blue tooth audio capabilities. I charged the glasses last night and synced them with both my Blackberry Storm and Mac Book Pro today. It was a BLAST chatting with @Befitt on Skype through the mac and sunglasses.

Once of my “projects” this summer is to do some reading and research on mobile devices. I’ve been wanting a new headset for recording stuff on the computer and I’m excited that I now have that AND another pair of Oakleys (yeah, you didn’t realize I already had 7ish pairs of the babies?). But I’m also excited that getting these has got me thinking about how “mobile” devices is more than our phones but also can include audio recording pens and flip cameras.
