Omg, check it out.

Basically, if I’m reading that right, my iPhone will be able to use its GPS and Master could hop on any computer (or his phone, if he got a compatible one) and know exactly where I am at ALL times.
Now, if I were a stay-at-home slave, I can see how it would be useless. And granted, I tell Master where I’m going every single time I leave the house anyway… But I like the idea of him being able to know. To really check. It’s not as if he shouldn’t trust me – he should… I just like the idea of extra accountability that isn’t centered on me and my words. I like the idea of him being able to track me, like a piece of property he’s attached a GPS device to. And right now we’re long distance. It’s lame and I hate it and when I see things like this I get all stupidly excited.
I’m extravagantly irritated it’s only “coming soon” for iPhones. My iPhone and I are wanting it RIGHT NOW KTHNX.
I saw a couple of threads over at Fetlife about the gps dog collars. Master thinks it’s hot.
I may well be a tracked slavepet soon, lol

Oh, weird! I’ve never seen a gps dog collar and my status of “not-allowed” when it comes to FetLife means I don’t keep up with any of these sorts of BDSM “trends from the internet” yanno? I’m always the last to know. *sulk* But… It makes me wonder how cumbersome and/or obvious (not to mention expensive – I’ve already got the phone!) a GPS collar would be… Hrrrrrrm.
Guess you’ll have to let me know some day. *winks*

We’ll be updating my phone soon (it’s a very old Razr but it still works so…yanno, why upgrade if I don’t need to) because I think Dan is getting me a new blackberry for my BD and he already told me he’s going to use this.
I can’t WAIT! I LOVE THE IDEA! He does too!

I’m totally in love with the idea too… I’m hoping they hurry the EFF up with the iPhone version. It sounds SO fun. Yayayayayay.

See I only have an iPod Touch. Same thing but without the phone capabilities and annoying phone contracts. This could possibly work for me if I tend to be in areas with WiFi, which I do, but not always. I doubt Master would prefer to be bothered. I don’t drive anyway so I’m almost always with him or at work.

Ooooooh, I get it. The Touch only works with WiFi areas since it doesn’t do the 3G network since it’s not a phone? (I sat staring at this for about 20 seconds before that registered. I’m kind of a dolt.) I am currently long-distance, plus I do work and run errands and see friends, etc. So it felt… I dunno… Like a really comforting idea to feel I was being tracked. But yeah, I can see how it’s totally unnecessary if you’re always together.

See…if I got one of these, I’d be getting phone calls like this:
“You better not be getting a Thin Mint Blizzard at that Dairy Queen….”
“WTF YOU DON’T NEED MORE SHOES!!!!!!”
“OMG, get OUT of OfficeMax!!”
Gah.

HAHAHAHAH! Exactly! Innit great? Hee hee.
(Pee Ess – I totally envisioned you hearing “Double-ewe Tee Eff, you don’t need more shoes!” over the phone because it amuses the hell outta me to think of people speaking internet acronyms aloud. Heh.)

If the Moose ever started spouting acronyms…
…*sighs* I’d probably understand and start saying them back.

I know, “Reply” doesn’t work for me either. I can only reply by logging into the dashboard and doing it. I’ve got to re-alert The Man to this issue as I am computer-inept. Thanks for reminding me!
(Btw, I DO say acronyms out loud. I get laughed at, fer shure, but I totally do it. Just don’t tell; it’s a secret. You can tell it’s a secret because I put it in parentheses. That means no one but you can read it. No, really, that’s true. I’m sure of it.)
