Look I made a USB Stick! Big Deal right? Well let me explain. I’ve been thinking about this device for a while and while it might look like a simple USB stick it’s not. It’s really a panic switch.

I think about this panic switch every time I hear about something bad happening to a child or a woman. This panic switch is on my mind a lot because of the 8 year old that was murdered while he was walking home by himself for the first time.  My heart goes out to the family.

The idea here is this is a call for help. Sure you can give your kids a cell phone but I’m not sure they will always be able to use it plus it might be pretty obvious to anyone doing some harm to someone they are making a call for help.  Think of it as that secret button the banker pushes when the bad bank robbers burst in.

This looks like a harmless USB stick. But once the switch is pulled this device would call all the programmed phone numbers, start broadcasting it’s location, sniffing for wifi, and listen in on it’s surroundings.

Features:

• Built in Mic
• GPS
• WiFi Sniffer
• Auto-dialer
• Average looking USB Stick

The Cradle:
The Panic Switch is married to the Cradle via Bluetooth and only that device can reprogram or disable it.  It’s not really a USB stick and can’t be connected to anything other than that cradle.

It’s a panic switch that you don’t even have to think about it’s just one action and you’ve let the world know you are in trouble.  I’ve thought about this device for a long time and the idea of how cool it could look, or what the shape would be.  The more I thought about it it the more I realized it shouldn’t be something that stands out.  It shouldn’t give itself away as a safety device or a panic switch.  If the bad guy knows you have it they might take it away from you.  I wish cell phone companies would offer a device like this to parents at a low price point of about 59 bucks.  Seems like something that could be done.  What do you think?

I just want to know when to start the clock.

But after I thought about it, these are good words to live by. I hear all the time you shouldn’t try to do something you should just do it. But sometimes you don’t know if you want to do it if you don’t try… But the truth is even if you are trying, you are doing more than the person who isn’t trying anything.

Maybe they should put fortunes under these lids?

But I can’t take it out of my system.  It’s the only thing that has a clock on it!

How will I know what time it is, if it’s not there?  Oh wait where’s my cell phone…

All I could think about was how many people across this country maybe even the world, wouldn’t be returning to their cars that day. 

I wanted to paint all the parking spots where people had never came back, a color. 

It could be any color, maybe that persons favorite color.

Not that anyone would ever forget that day but I wanted people to think that could have been their parking spot.   And how lucky we are we get another day to find a better spot in life.

By the very name of it “FACE BOOK” someone should be able to see my face right off the bat.

I’m worried when I invite people to it and they don’t see my friendly or not so friendly face there they turn away and think it’s some sort of scam. I don’t even hear back from some of these people… Then the fact that my profile can’t be indexed in a search engine really bothers me. What’s the point of building this and not everyone can see it?

I’d like to think of Face Book as my Rolodex or business card. Maybe I could pick the info I want public on my main profile and if you want more you have to become a member.

You have to give people something to want to join and if they can’t get at least and idea of what you can use this for, they won’t come back.

If you do become a Face Book user look me up SEANFX.

Just too start off I’m an artist.  I do graphic arts, I love to draw and I’ve always wanted to make movies.   My day job is making art for video games.  Maybe you’ve heard of this…  Golden Tee Golf.

I’ve worked on that and many other games out there and some that haven’t seen the light of day.  But that’s alright at least I get to spend most of my time creating art of some kind.  When I’m not working I like creating computer graphics and making movies.  I finished one after along hiatus from making films.   You can view it here.  Making this has inspired me to make more.  I really don’t know why I haven’t made more I guess life just has a way of showing you other paths that you feel like you have to take.  So now I’m taking this one back.

I’m not really sure what or how often I’ll be writing here but I will be.  I’ll be writing about projects I’m starting and working on.  My ideas on media making it and enjoying it.  I’m a big fan of TV and Movies so I’ll be making comments on them too.

The biggest change in my professional life has been podcasting, or at least the idea of it.  I was turned on to it about a year and half ago by some friends at work.  I mostly start with tutorial video related to my work.  Oh yeah I should say right now if you don’t already know this.  Podcasting is not just audio it’s video too.  And it’s everything Radio and TV is not!

After I got bored with the tutorials I started looking around.  I found Mysterious Universe.  Okay, I like UFO’s and Bigfoot too.  This opened my eyes to a whole new world of broadcasting.  I found comedy, dramas and so many news format types of show that focused on topics I was interested in that I was hooked.  With my background in art and filmmaking I’ve decided to explore this as a viable way to release my and my friends content.  People are doing some of it is great some not so.  But the freedom that it represents to independent content creators is beyond imagination.  I believe the TV and FILM industry is not prepared for this and the way they do business means I don’t think they ever could.

It’s going to take time 5, 10 maybe 15 years but the industry is going to change.  I hope to be one of those content creators that can be on ground floor of some media breakthroughs.
