Public Data app wishlist


  1. plate@car.gov Make all car license plates have an email address. People could warn you before the tow truck, if you parked your car in a bad place. If you’re license is ABH-2342 then your email alias would be ABH-2342@car.gov.  And everyone would just know that.
  2. Public problem app.  I wish there was an app to report problems and crimes to relevant government agencies.  It would include some automatic reporting, e.g. your phone automatically reports a pothole when you hit one while driving.  The driver won’t need to pull over and manually report.  The smartphone would just know that a sudden jolt along a road means pothole and report it.  
  3. Kidnap app. Make a facial recognition app to that was connected to a database of known missing persons so if people saw something suspicious they could take a pic and check if the person was known missing.  
  4. My recent experience with the Overnight Service of USPS further drives the need for an app for tracking the interaction with a company or government agency.  We need something that makes it easy to capture all the emails, chat windows, phone calls sitting on hold, broken email links, broken or just bad web forms, tweets.   We need an app that makes it easy to also publish to a public site for accountability including the time it takes for a company/agency to resolve the issue.
    1. It will need:
      1. Datamasking features blackout email addresses,  HIPAA data, financial data specifics, phone numbers, ssns etc.  
      2. The public site will be have stats on different companies.  Awards for fastest resolver of issues. Rankings.

Explaining the Financial Crisis and the Bailout

Pat Dorsey is a pretty smart guy, Director of Equity Research at Morningstar. He explains why the bailout is a safety net for Main Street not a bailout for Wall Street. I understand this I just wish there was a better alternative like getting loans from www.prosper.com. Unfortunately Prosper.com only allows loans of $25,000 which just isn't enough for a lot of companies. Maybe Prosper will expand soon to ease the short term credit crisis. Well here's Pat Dorsey's take on the credit crisis:

Praise Reports: Thanks to an anonymous donation my financial support is up to $600 now! Thank you Mr/Ms Anonymous! A childhood friend of mine contacted me out of the blue to let me know he's in Orlando, too.  I haven't seen him since 1997 so hopefully we can get reaquainted next weekend.  He Googled my name and found my address.  God Bless the Internet! The first two groups of students got back from their trips to Key West and Brazil this past Friday.  Seeing how much these young people have matured spiritually gives me more confirmation that I'm in the right place.  I can see the changes in attitude towards their faith and increased priority to follow Christ and it makes the 14 hour days worth the effort. Also Getting 90 minutes a day of prayer and reading is a lot easier than I thought it would be with our 14 hour days.  Being in a community that supports that kind of thing is so awesome! I'm reading a great book called "Intercession: Thrilling ...
