Not really a gargoyle (even though I'm as paranoid as the next humanoid). |

My application is working with technicians that cover a wide geographic |
| 11 |
area of industrial equipment. Many times I drive to a remote site, and it's |
| 12 |
not necessary, they just did not articulate the issue/problem/question |
| 13 |
with accuracy. If I provide them a wearable rig then we can examine |
| 14 |
problems with equipment, and I can stay in the remote (air conditioned) lab. |

Sure, there may be resistance at first to these sort of gadgets, but, |
| 17 |
being a very cool and creative type-A, I've decide to spice them up |
| 18 |
with sports, music, and other streaming AV goodies, so the techs |
| 19 |
see the devices as enjoyable. Obviously for work well done, there will be |
| 20 |
PERKS via the devices. I'm open to a device for endorphin injections |
| 21 |
on a micro scale, if you know a good source. |
| 22 |

I'm basically sorry/lazy/stupid and getting old fast trying to keep up |
| 24 |
with troubleshooting industrial equipment. I need something to minimize |
| 25 |
truck rolls and thereby justify being on the payroll as a consultant. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
Naturally, after lowering expectations for a few years, I now have to |
| 28 |
deliver something very cool, to stay gamefully employeed. |

Got any better ideas for a poezr in an industrial environment? |
