I've spent some time building a case for my beagleboard, the main unit of my wearable computer. Here's a pic of the whole system now.

 The case is made of plexiglass, and I don't really have much else to say about it, except that it nicely shields the sd-card now.

 That rectractable usb is going to be my powercord, I'll connect it to some NiMH batteries somehow soon.

I'll get retractable speaker/microphone. I'll get 4 retractable USB cords for my hub too, I like those things, less wirs hanging around me.

 Batteries are selected, I'll be making them soon. Also I kind of know how I'll have to carry this thing for now. I'll be reporting someday about those.

Nifty!

This is, from my geek perspective, very cool. What will the I/O interface be? (Apologies if I missed an earlier blog on this.)

Input and output

Spiffchorder, a one handed chording keyboard, if I'm able to finish building it, will be the input device. The display is inside those sunglasses, it's a kopin vga display from Myvu Crystal system. Of course that speaker/mic thing too, although I'm not going to use voice on that.
