My glasses broke
My Staffan Preutz glasses broke today. These glasses have become a strong aspect of my persona - “Oh yeah, the guy with the weird/cool glasses!”. One of the titanium “arms” snapped in half when I was at the planetarium with my wife and kids today. Thankfully, I have a backup pair of glasses, but they aren’t the stylish, rimless, armless glasses that I have grown to love over the past 18 months.
The funny thing about this is that I was at a presentation coaching session (my employer puts these on for new employees) and the coach said that my Staffan Preutz glasses were “too unique” and would be a distraction to the audience. Blasphemy! So, off I go to speak at two conferences without my distracting glasses! Heh.
I’ll get them repaired and wear them next time to distract and confuse all those in my presence.
UPDATE 06/16/06: During the two conferences, several people asked me what happened to my glasses. I threw people off with my backup pair.
