An app that tells you what bars support what teams.  This way, when you are stuck far away from EMAWland on a vacation or just moved or whatever, you can find a bar of friendlies.

who was chicat before he was chicat???  :surprised:

I had this idea that you could get one of those cell phone holders for like an iPhone or Evo or something and put it on your belt right where the buckle is.  Then you have this app with a bunch of preloaded images of belt buckles on it.  You could change the image as you wanted.  You could also upload custom buckles.

invent an app that allows a person to travel through time through their phone.  dial 1944, travel to 1944. dial 2020, travel to 2020.

been thinking about this post since you posted it.

what if, for example, you dialed 2013 and the world actually ended in 2012?  would it give you the "wrong number" jingle, or would it send you into 2013 and you'd instantly die or something?

ok i thought of a good one i would use.  the app places a carryout order at a random restaurant in your zip code.  you don't get told what restaurant or what the food is that was ordered, instead you get google maps directions sent to you guiding you there.

i would love this. 
Fantastic.

pretty good q.
maybe send you to a different world in the galaxy/solar system (same thing?) that hadn't ended yet?  could be the secret to space travel.

also, follow up question...

when you dial, does it transport you to that time and put you at the exact spot that you're at?  Like, if I'm standing at the 50 yard line at BSFS and I dial 1100, will it put me at that exact spot?

I wonder for 2 reasons....if you go too far back, you will probably be in the middle of an ocean or something.  Also, if you go back to the dinosaurs, what if a dinosaur was walking at that exact spot at that exact second and crushed you? 

i'm getting pretty close to sealing the deal with this appy, just need some clarification.

lazy river or something.



#1) remote control- turn your phone into a remote for your tv. i have three tvs, three remotes and can't find a single remote right now. always know where my phone is though. usually always
.

This can be done.  Need a control system for whatever AV you want to control.  Your control processor is on a dedicated network, and you dial in on that network using your android app or iPhone/iPad app.  Full control.   :gocho:

when me and the team originally whiteboarded the concept and pulled together the specs, we envisioned that the app would put you in the same place as you were when you dialed the date.  it adds to the complexity of time travel and ensures people will do their homework before just popping in a date.  thoughts?

maybe split it up into 2 different appys?  One is the "Professional Version" for people like CNS Casey, and does everything you've been talking about.  The other version, we'll call it "Beginner's Version," will be for people like wes mantooth, who just want to show off to their buddies and won't take time to research.  It'll re-route them to someplace where they won't immediately die.

Just thinking that if we break it up into 2 versions, it will slide by BSAC's review fairly easy.

This will kill all possible fun to be had when using TimeApp while drunk.

Also, need a work around for 911, although, I guess time traveling to the year 911 will remove you from whatevs harm you were in at the time of dialing 911.  But what if you are reporting a crime happening to someone else?   :ohno:

Look, if you want me to test it out, all you have to do is ask. 

Thinking out of the box here(let's face it, someone has to) but TimeApp would be boring as crap if it only took you to the exact spot.  Think about it.  As an American, it would be pretty rough ridin' limiting. 

I would suggest some sort of travel app, lets call it TravelApp, be packaged with TimeApp.  Could call it the UltimateMobilityApp(trade marking this).

I could get with this.  You can use the google maps feature already on iphones, and the person selects where the want to be transported, and that's also when you dial up a #.

How about "Travel 3000 Super Adventure"

thing is, we already designed a special button you have to press at the same time as dialing the year you're going to, and you have to be in the app, not just dialing your phone.  also, there's a special message that says "are you sure you want to time travel to the year 911?" and there's a green "Yes" button and a "Red" no button. 

this crap was ironed out on day one of our brainstorming session.

<----relieved.  Honestly, I figured you would have, but with OK-Cat involved, I had to at least ask.  You understand. 

Now, how about the whole traveling back 2000 years just to be standing in the middle of a rough ridin' prairie thing????

gotta be honest, Travel 3000 Super Adventure scares the living crap out of me.  First, the dinosaur thing.  Just picturing someone time travel back to dinosaur times, and getting squashed by a T-Rex.  LAWSUIT.

Also, worried about people going back and rough ridin' with stuff.  Can Travel 3000 Super Adventure be made in a way that people can't change the past?

This, but with delivery.  Just so you can avoid accidentally driving into the hood or something.

well, going to the hood to get good food is prob something you ordinarily wouldn't do. so, delivery is not an option.
you will be fine.  there's plenty of places that have great food in the hood and are safe to go to.
