Rating: - They hurt!CliC Adjustable Front Connect Reader, 2.00 Strength, Tortoise Frame They look fine, they work well - don't slip off, click together firmly etc etc. But they hurt! They are very tight where they fit over the tops of my ears and after a while I have to take them off because they are just too uncomfortable. I have tried lengthening them - doesn't help, just causes them to slip off the end of my nose. Is there any way to widen the band at the backi so there is not so much pressure above the ears? Rating: - No more misplaced reading glasses.These are great. I have misplaced about a dozen pairs of reading glasses but no more. Rating: - Handy & practicalI inspect roofs in South Florida, so I bought these glasses primarily for safety reasons: they can hang from my neck without distracting my field of vision or getting in the way, and they won't slip out of my shirt pocket like a pair of standard, fold-up glasses. They're sturdy, well-made, and the lens magnification is crisp and clear. Rating: - Randy Great glasses - but if you have a hat size larger than 7 3/8, they won't fit. Rating: - Clics are great reading glassesI bought these glasses after lasik when I needed reading glasses to see anything within arms' length. As far as reading glasses go, they are very handy. I never lose them as they are around my neck. My regular reading glasses are always getting misplaced. Clics don't fit everyone's head, however. They work best with short and thin hair as you need to hike them up over your ears to get them on. If you have a wide head, they may not sit well on the bridge of your nose. They are somewhat adjustable. Some of my friends with thick hair or who wear ponytails or who have braids or locks cannot wear them as the back strap just does not fit over their hair to allow the glasses to sit comfortably ...

Ted Shelton: "Frankly I felt that BlogOn was a waste of time and money."
I think the BlogOn conference was overproduced. In the name of professionalism the organizing firm turned off potential speakers, oversubscribed sponsors, etc.
I would have liked a debatable topic (aside from *blogging = journalism*. Two people slugging it out. Or a devil's advocate taking challenges from the floor.
I would have liked more hard numbers. Facts. Charts. Diagrams. We have the analytic tools to BS-check them; harder on vague opinions and single-points-of-observation.
I found it disturbing how much money was being commanded (from both attendees and sponsors) for a conference at a university. Maybe it was because it was at Berkeley? Maybe we should have taken over a community college or a Cal State or a DeVry. The facilities costs would have been cheaper at least. I heard an organizer apologize and say the next one would be at a hotel, like that would have been better.
Cost wasn't the whole problem. We're at a stage where early adopters are meeting folks who want to leap the chasm. Huge gaps in knowledge, experience, context, culture, vocabulary. It's the gap.
There are huge ideas to be explored, even in the world of applying blogs to media strategy and the enterprise. And most of the big ideas weren't even on the agenda at BlogOn. Probably because it was catering to those who want to commercialize, fund, and otherwise exploit (excuse me, "get in on") the emerging medium.
Let's fork these conferences so advanced topics on business and technology and culture fit the participants.
