Initially, I was absolutely convinced that one second videos would be an incredibly stupid idea. Then I watched Cesar Kuriyama's video of one second videos of a year of his life and was blown away by the storytelling potential: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lyx6O_WFJhU

Excellent work. I would personally love to do something like this, but alas it looks like it takes an enormous amount of work to edit. If I had a head-mountable life recorder, I could revisit clips in my leisure time for editing perhaps.

Or perhaps living life is more important than documenting. This video is certainly inspirational like that. After all, the only people who will really care about my life videos are me, my spouse, probably my kids and maybe their kids.

If you like the idea, you can help out by spreading the Indiegogo campaign or even donating a few bucks. If you've got UI ideas you can mail me. I'll be working on that side this week.

You wouldn't need a head-mountable life recorder to do a one second video every day or every several hours, like shown in that video.

You know not my personality or lifestyle. Yes, I would. Also, to get the "right" second I'd need lots to choose from. Yes, I would need a head-mountable life recorder.
