The whole thing quickly <a href="http://www.forbes.com/fdc/welcome_mjx.shtml">devolved</a> into a bunch of bad Twitter jokes. But techies, it seems, are pretty desperate to get their hands on Glass.</p>
<p><!--more-->First, we have tech writer Jason Kincaid, who made a music video about how badly he wants Glass. If he doesn't win, at least now the Internet knows what a magical singing voice he has.</p>
