    Nag yourself in a new way

    Neat looking new mobile app by a ph.d candidate at the U of M (Pam Ludford), looking to be tested by “super busy” twenty somethings who try do way too many things and keep track of it all. Kind of like backpacks neat new sms reminders, but reminding you when your two blocks from the library or grocery store, instead of at a certain point in the future. Sweet.

    Social GPS

    A map of wherever you are is laid under a map of the gps signal from you and your buddies gps enabled cellphones, allowing you to know where they are even when they’re out of sight. God this is cool.

    Guardian Mobility - Greenland Expedition

    Explorers and huskies tool around in the vast wilderness of Greenland, and their progress is tracked by a GPS. Coolest thing ever.

    Over spring break I started to think about how cool it would be to hike the Appalachian Trial with a hacked up backpack that kept GPS coordinates as you walked, every five or so minutes, and also periodically took a picture off the front strap of your pack (of course also strapped the GPS data into the photo) and eventually compile the millions of pieces of data into one hell of a trip memoir.

    This kind of thing is the coolest, I’ve been thinking about it almost nonstop for a week now. WHy not just build this kind of application into your e-911 cellphone, and have a record of where you have been, complete with photos of interesting points in your days journey, and best of all, all those pieces of metadata, and context? Why throw away so many facets of your life – to just forget about them?
