I'm not sure how many people are actually aware of this, but the Xbox 360 can blog about itself. That's right, a game console connected to the internet can generate a blog - about your gaming habits. When this feature was first released a year or two ago there was some humourous feedback relating to it. Basically the system writes a journal along the lines of "My owner played XXXX game for an hour today, otherwise I was bored and lonely, blah blah" What could we call this, a Xlog?

Perhaps the best thing we can do is push it over the edge of a boat in the middle of the lake. Glog, glog, glog.

However, this could possibly present a problem with privacy issues - people won't know that they are being filmed. Imagine one day you are surfing the net when your face comes up and you think to yourself, I swear I have NO clue how I am on the internet. Seems a tad bit invasive and frightening. forget about Big Brother watching you, try the WHOLE WORLD!! baaaa. most definitely. it is THE strangest get-up, but apparently he has now developed a little gizmo that attaches to glasses that doesn’t look nearly as invasive.

Instead of projecting your thoughts, you're basically reacting to what's going on around you and posting the results. Seeing what he sees doesn't do us much good unless he adds a little more context. Also, I can't imagine he'd be getting candid reactions from the people around him... from the sounds of his getup, my first instinct would be to run and hide, not to hang out and get myself on film.
