Field Notes Inside an Integrated Communications Agency

I want someone to build an app for me that can find lost keys, hats, remotes and dog collars. For my Droid.

I've got an Arduino. I've got all sorts of projects waiting patiently in the wings of my free time. I'm hoping to break into app development at some point this year (Droid app dev - let's be clear, I'm not learning objective c). I'm all about wiring up my house with RFID emitters and a wall panel, but I want something more...device-y. I want an app to track and fire these RFID signals, and geolocate them in their nooks and crannies, between the sofa cushions, in the pocket of the pants that I wore last Tuesday. Hell, take it to the next level and get some funding: pitch it to Netflix to wire up their rentals so I can find those DVD's in the laundry hamper!

This has been done already, I know. Clunky, old and cheap-plastic-y, just like the Web site. If you'll build this Droid app for me, I'll build a sexy site for you to match*. Aaaaaand I promise my devotion to and shameless promotion of you and your fabulous app.

To address the most obvious naysayer argument straight away: I will NEVER lose my phone.

Gauntlet thrown down. Hit me up:
