"Google Glass sightings are still pretty rare these days. Rarer still is an in-the-wild sighting of Google co-founder Sergey Brin wearing said futuristic specs. Rarest of all, though, may be the random intersection of a New York City subway rider and Google Glass-wearing Sergey Brin.\nUntil now.\nSelf-described \u201Cwearable computing enthusiast\u201D and New York City resident Noah Zerkin apparently looked up at the seat opposite him on a NYC subway to find Brin sporting a wool cap and his now-trademark eye wear.  \nFor those unfamiliar with Google Glass, it's the product of Google's long-gestating Project Glass and are head-mounted, augmented reality glasses that offer a single, tiny view screen, voice recognition, and photo and video capture. A team of sky-diving daredevils famously demonstrated them last year during Google I/O, where Brin was delivering the keynote. \nZerkin grabbed a twitpic, which has since been retweeted hundreds of times and reported on dozens of others.\n\nYeeeah... I just had a brief conversation with the most powerful man in the world. On the downtown 3 train. Nice guy. twitter.com/noazark/status\u2026\n\u2014 Noah Zerkin (@noazark) January 21, 2013\n\nDespite their shared interests, Zorkin reported on Twitter that the meeting was entirely coincidental. The universe is funny that way.\nOut at CES 2013 earlier this month, I stumbled on a gentleman wearing an orange version of Google Glass. He turned out to be Russ Mirrov, Electrical Lead for Google Glass project. He was amiable and reminded me that Google Glass is still a research project. Naturally, I asked to wear them, but Mirrov declined, though he did snap of photo of us using only his voice. \n\nRuss Mirrov Electrical Lead for Google Glass project sporting his own pair at #2013CES twitter.com/LanceUlanoff/s\u2026\n\u2014 Lance Ulanoff (@LanceUlanoff) January 9, 2013\n\nMirrov was more interested in how I might want to use Google Glass. I told him that I\u2019d use them to augment my terrible memory for people\u2019s names: I'd see someone and quietly ask Google Glass to identify them before they came within earshot. Mirrov seemed to like the idea.\nWhere \u2013 and on whom \u2013 have you spotted Google Glass?
