Excerpt:
If you are active on Google+ there are a lot of communities for web designers or UI designers to join.

New ebook all about web design for Google Glass — from glassalmanac.com by Christian Bullock
Excerpt:
Well that was fast.

Pretty cool idea and something I could see as being crucial when Glass launches publicly. I’m sure Glass adoption won’t be as high as tablet or smartphone adoption rates, but as we’re seeing now, it’s necessary for web designers to think of other ways people are interacting with websites aside from normal desktop or laptop computers.
