EveryTrail Vs Sportstracker
I have been working with Nokia SportsTracker for over a year and a half, it’s the basis for that Urbanista Diaries and viNe work. If you are not familiar, SportsTracker is basically a Nokia mobile application that marries GPS data with media on device, enabling you to track, upload and broadcast your journeys.
Anyways, Everytrail has basically built the same thing, only theirs uses Google and iPhone. ‘EveryTrail’ uses GPS (plus triangulation and WiFi) to locate your device and plot your track to which photos are added as you take them. These ‘tracks’ are then saved locally (including pictures) with the option to upload the recorded data directly, or store and upload all at once later. You can, of course, also embed your journeys in some kind of widget on your site (see below). Plus, your tracks can be viewed on Google Maps and Earth, which is kinda special.
EveryTrail doesn’t look very nice and it doesn’t do video etc (yet), but, it’s on iPhone, so I just downloaded the application, registered for the service, did (and embedded) the test above and wrote this sentance - all in literally about 4 minutes - and it was extremely easy. If you have an iPhone, try it - it’s awesome.

Hello again. I trust you are well. If you do this, you’ll know it’s pretty hard getting back after a break, you sort of need something special to fire you up. Like this:
Suckers.
Hoe Hoe Hoes
rubbishcorp® will be spending most of my free time playing the backlog of games I have amassed, including (sadly) finishing GTA4 - I know, but I’ve been very busy.
Anyway, there’ll be very little in the way of blogging here as a result.
Back soon.
BlogFest II // Blogin’ Boogaloo
Thursday December 18 marked the second year anniversary of rubbishcorp® and, as is now customary, I will celebrating this momentous occasion by holding BlogFest 2 (not ClogFest and not 3 as some divvies in my office think) on **UPDATE** Friday January 23rd 2009 **UPDATE**.
As is also customary I would like to invite you, the rubbishcorp® readers, to celebrate with me, in the spiritual home of rubbishcorp® (a pub). We can talk about exciting things like blogin’ a in a non-virtual environment with lovely ‘actual’ drinks.
As you may be aware, last years BlogFest 0.1 was a massive sucess. rubbishcorp® enjoyed the company of inexcess of some 17 people. Some of the biggest (literally) people in advertising, two of whom flew in from Amsterdam, attended the worlds biggest blogin’ event by rubbishcorp®:
“Good” Sean Chambers. // Jnr Account Exec. Kong Amsterdam.
“I didn’t actually go, but I heard it was alright” // Neil Starr. ACD Copy. R/GA.
“Yeah” Vic Polkinghorne. // Runner / Rent Boy. Sell Sell.
“I was so proud - some people turned up.” // rubbishcorp®. CEO Chief Exec.
Blogfest 2 // Blogin’ Boogaloo will take place upstairs at The Old Crown, on the corner of New Oxford Street and Museum Street, **UPDATE** Friday January 23rd 2009 from 7PM **UPDATE**.
If you can, come along, it will be ‘interesting’ and I might even buy you a beer.
Blog on dudes, blog on.

Robot Death
Three people have died in Japan after trying to use the above robotic foot massage machine on their necks and shoulders. Infact, the above is actually a warning film created after a woman removed the cloth cover of the device and ended up strangling herself with her shirt collar (as demonstrated).
I think this is obviously the begining of the end, the rise of the foot massage robots. The machines are clearly encouraging the weak minded to put them on their necks, at which point they attack and then, cunning as they are, make it look like innocent strangulation.
Beware the foot massage robots, don’t listen to their evil lies.
