What it does:
You have a main blog page accessible only to people you want knowing
where you are.


It takes your GPS coords every minute or so. Every time you do an
update to your blog, or 6 hours have passed, the phone uploads all
your coords up to your main blog, and you can chart where you've been
on googlemaps.

If you take a picture with your phone, you can automatically send it
to your blog and it will be date stamped and have GPS coords for where
you took it.

If you make a voice message with your phone, you can send it to your
blog.

If you text message your blog, it will automatically update.

Same for video too. You can get some really kickin video storage if
you have the bandwidth on the phone and use the main blog server's

Basically you can keep a diary of every important event in your life
with your phone. Don't sell this as an electronic diary though
because someone holds a patent on that dating back during the original
series of StarTrek... Totally a useless patent cuz the guy can't do it
himself, but just probably wants to sue someone if they come up with
it.

I'm currently unemployed, and I would like to work for Google. I'm a
Carnegie Mellon grad in Scientific Computing, but I won't be doing
Android because I got so many projects on the burner even though I'm
unemployed.

Nice idea. It is so nice that Nokia once created a version and called
it Lifeblog.

I guess there is a principle about that: For every idea you come up
with, someone is already
working on it.
