The BBC has an article discusses a company producing a technology that allows people to track others with a cell phone. The short of it, is that the technology uses the motion of the cell phone accelerometers to track even small movements with the built-in GPS of the phone. For those of you not in the know, GPS is used for positional tracking and is pretty accurate down to a couple feet at least. Interestingly, I discovered how accurate the GPS was with my iphone (company purchased, I wouldn’t ever buy one — I prefer the Android platform). I needed to get to a restaurant and I’d forgotten to write down the address, but I remembered the street. With a neato keen application called “Around Me” I was able to track my distance to the door of the restaurant within at least 5 feet. How incredibly useful!
Now imagine that your boss can see with a pretty precise degree where you are, and with this new technology in the mobile phone from KDDI, you’ll be comforted by the fact that your employer (or snooping wife/stalker/private investigator/police/friendly neighborhood government agent) will know if you’re actively moving around or standing still while you’re out of sight and where you might be doing it. I really don’t think I’d be too terribly happy if my employer started micromanaging my time by ensuring that i was being productive based solely on whether my phone is moving about enough for his/her standards.
“Hmm, prata has gone over his 3 minute time limit on bathroom privileges. We’ll have to write him up and remove one of his bathroom breaks to make up for the lost productivity.”
Nevermind I was spending those minutes actually at my desk and working, but I dropped my phone on my way from or to the bathroom. Or what if I leave my phone at my desk, but have done 6 tickets and rectified numerous problems. I sense lots of signing discussions with the higher ups. Yeah. I don’t like this technology at all.
Why is it I know no girls that enjoy wearing skirts like this? Sad.
You should make your phone attend a lot of meetings and prayer breakfasts while you visit the local strip clubs.
Also look for Hwang Mi Hee if you’re into Korean bunny in schoolgirl outfits.

You give the best fuckin’ cards, as a side note. Man, I have actually wasted two hours of my time “looking” at Hwang Me Hee in schoolgirl outfits. She is really freakin’ hot. You know who else is hot, Hoshino Aki.
I was in my favorite manga store the other day and saw that they had some book called J-Rock Groupies. This drew my attention because it was packed oddly. Picked it up and OMG hottest everyday Japanese girls ever packed onto every page. It was freakin’ fantastic. Need more of that here. We need to combine our resources and move.
