Post Re: Random Questions Thread
Random tech question: Is there a smart phone app out there that if my wife gets lost she can hit a button and it can tell me where she is? Say I'm at work or home on a regular phone and I have access to my e-mail and the web.

Also assume that when she's in such a state of mind that she's too flustered/hostile to understand a GPS.

This happens enough that I'm considering throwing money at a solution. Her vehicle is not equipped with OnStar.

She doesn't even have to press a button.

I know AT&T offers a location service as well. Not sure what the cost is.

The cost is having to do business with AT&T. :rimshot:

Why is it that one day helping on set construction feels more fulfilling than my past three years at my paying job?
