	Perfectly good things go into the trash every day, I've always wanted to map out the trash, it's location and distribute it via sms to people who have expressed interest in an item category (like maybe 'couch'). Phones with location capabilities might make this a reality by mapping the object to a place when the picture gets taken and then showing it to the interested users.

			'''Blog n' log'''
			A lot of bloggers are nomads, blogging from different places constantly. Id like to make a program that would get the location that people are blogging from and blurred it a little to display it on the blog as well. Kind of like the time stamp on blogs but for location.

	My idea is to make a program that will do 2 things: be able to map all the points they input (which comes from the boat's computer in degrees, minutes, seconds) and then produce maps with those pointers that can be edited to include information about them (this is the dive site and this is where we went for a hike) and also generate this images with the pointers to the places that have been visited when they are given a range of dates. Ideally this map would later become also a piece of hardware that displays this and gets added to a guest lounge on a boat, being "fed" by the radio room but seen (and perhaps minorly manipulated, with layers and zoom levels) on the guest area.
