On Gillmor Gang now, talking about NSA and other stuff.

Well, I think we know what we'll discuss on the Gillmor Gang at 1 p.m. today. To prepare, everyone should listen to Obama's comments. The Verge has the audio file of his comments up now:

See you all on FriendFeed at 1 p.m. at http://friendfeed.com/stevegillmor

I listened and EVERY AMERICAN should listen to Obama's remarks and then we should have a national debate.

Me? I think Obama is on the right side of the line here but know that many in the community will totally disagree.

Many new technologies are unpopular at first, or controversial, or have a "fashion cost" to them. I discuss why that all doesn't matter here.

Al Gore tweeted that he is outraged.

I remember going to the White House back when it was occupied by George Bush and it was clear that the government was gonna do a lot of stuff to knock down terrorism that would infringe on our freedoms. This is more proof.

I feel mixed about this. I hate that our government is doing this but I do appreciate it when they stop attacks.

How does this make you feel?

Google Glass session at LeWeb. I was mobbed after the session yesterday by people wanting to try it out. Thanks Loic Le Meur and Geraldine LeMeur and team for yet another awesome event.

At Rackspace Hosting we can't wait to see what developers do next and would love to help developers build apps for Glass. Based on what I saw this week there will be quite a few coming from London-based developers.

On my way home now, you can watch LeWeb live here: http://live.leweb.co/ The second afternoon is starting now.

Are you ready for the "Three Glassholes" discussion at LeWeb? It comes up in a little more than an hour. Watch live and see a fun photo of Loic Le Meur, Jeremiah Owyang, and John L Battelle at the link here.

Here's a version everyone can watch of the BBC debate I had with Jaron Lanier: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-22770908 Google Glass and wearable computers.

Media training? If you get on with Jeremy Paxman (many PR people live in fear of him since he has an adversarial interview style) in a debate setting, here's some tips:

1. Get there early and try to have a fun conversation with him before getting on air. That's where Paxman feels you out. I let him try Glass and had a good laugh with him.

2. Make sure you take the other side's point of view (I know the downsides of technology).

3. Wait your turn. No one likes someone who talks over other people. On the other hand, you do need to be firm about getting in your points too. It's a tight balancing act.

4. Self deprecation works a LOT with Paxman. He respects that since he always gets people pitching him stuff and pushing a singular point of view.

Thanks Rory Cellan-Jones who had a separate film that led into this debate. Read his thoughts and watch that here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-22759482

Talking about wearable computing and what it means for Google, Apple, @mybasis and others on CNBC Europe. I had a busy day on media and talking to a TON of startups thanks to Rackspace Hosting.
