Thank you for joining me on my little journey. Most journeys start with a goal in mind. There's a place the journeyman wants to go. There's a mountain to climb, a loved one to save, a sea to cross, an exotic land to catalog.
I don't have any such goals. My goal is a little more audacious than that. My goal is to find a goal worth traveling for. One of these days I may find it, and you're gonna want to be there when I do. In the meantime, I'm just going to try and share the most interesting things that I find on this journey to a journey.
Every journey, even a journey just to find a journey, starts with a single step. This is my step two.
A lot of people are making a lot of money on Apple iPhone applications. It's the latest, greatest thing. Programmers of all levels and interests are able to use Apple's SDK to create an application, post it to Apple's application store and let the money come rolling in.
Here's an app I'd like to see: What's your mood. The app would give the user a bunch of smiley faces to pick from. There would be happy ones, sad ones, smileys in love, angry smileys, mischievous, and at least a dozen more emotions. When the user selects one, that selection gets cataloged and combined with the selections of thousands of users all over the world. You can then view a map of the world and see the average emotions of people in the U.S., in the world, in your hometown and your neighborhood.
What do you think? Wanna build it? I'll bet you could be rich in no time!
