I wore glasses a kid too - good ol' bifocals - I can't tell you how many comments I got...but ironically, it took a pretty bad bike accident to prove the worthiness of glasses - they actually saved my eyes from serious damage! And speaking of kids, I've been working with Intel on their International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF), which is going all week in Atlanta. It has grown in size and prestige to become the crowning achievement in the U.S., and internationally, in high school science competitions, and there are some super cool projects being presented. I urge all of you to check it out - the site is http://www.intelisef2008.org/.
