I don't know if I want to hang with you while you're wearing one of these
'Black box' cam for total recall

A wearable camera full of sensors could help people with memory problems, according to Microsoft researchers.
The prototype SenseCam takes an instant snap every time it spots changes in movement, temperature or light.
Currently capable of storing 2,000 images on a 128MB memory card, the cam could help people record their days.
The technology has been developed by the Microsoft Research laboratories [P6: why am I not surprised?] in Cambridge, UK, and is to undergo tests at Addenbrookes Hospital this summer.
"SenseCam has been designed to act like a black box for the human body," lead researcher Lyndsay Williams told BBC News Online.
"It was something I originally created as a method for helping my family find their keys at home.
"It's so frustrating trying to re-trace one's steps so I build a device which would help find a solution to this problem."
It also seems to be potentially the ultimate way to keep a visual blog, or diary, of your life. [P6: GHOD, don't be giving people any ideas!]
