SAN FRANCISCO-- Justin TV has been live for 4 days. Seattle-native in San Francisco, Justin Kan (23), wears a hat-camera 24/7 in pursuit of a world where, “hundreds of employees, thousands of cameras and tens of thousands of shows” run from his 2-bedroom North Beach apartment.Although Kan’s equipment is similar to University of Toronto professor Steve Mann’s wearable computer and reality mediator, the 23-year-old sets a noticeably more playful tone. Unlike the academically heralded Mann, Justin Kan has not yet publicly referred to himself as a “cyborg”, at least not while sober. Instead, JustinTV has a Real World feel, albeit with far fewer bikinis, on a real world budget.
Justin Kan's cellphone number is 415-948-3219. I am considering inviting him to my champagne croquet match.
update from Shenanigoat: apparently these guys are getting prank'd a lot. Someone spoofed the caller id of the Justin.tv official cell phone number, called the San Francisco police department and reported a stabbing in the North Beach apartment. link to video at TechCrunch
