As I posted earlier this month, Representative John Dingell, Jr. recently became the longest serving member of Congress in the history of the United States. He was interviewed by Stephen Colbert, among others, and had a really good week. This was followed up recently by Mr. Dingell getting to try the new Google Glass (which I don’t pass judgment on one way or another). A young Google representative (who also happens to be the boyfriend of a law school friend of mine) went to his office, and helped him locate a Chinese restaurant on Capitol Hill and then get the driving route for it–all of 0.8 miles. Upon locating it he cried out “this is quite a machine!” You can find the video of Mr. Dingell using Google Glass here.
Mr. Dingell, a Democrat, represents Michigan’s 12th congressional district. He has been a member of the House since December 13, 1955.
