Ken, I partly agree with you, it is within our instinct to hunt for food, and I have no argument with that. My argument is more around the type of person that hunts for fun and had no regard or...

PS The image quality does look pretty dubious).

Why would anyone think anyone else is interested in 'lifeblogging', maybe I have underestimated just how vain people are. I think the only people who will wear these things will be sad social misfits.
