			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Just like people are putting solar panels on everything (like phones and vests) I think the next big trend will be packing GPS devices into anything they can find.  It starts with a GPS enabled shoe.</p>
<p>Issac Daniel one of the early pioneers of the GPS shoe has created his second generation of the shoe the Blue GPS shoe.  It&#8217;s perfect for anyone who&#8217;s paranoid about being kidnapped or &#8220;shanghai&#8217;ed.&#8221;  Or it&#8217;s perfect if you suspect a cheating spouse or significant other.  This news reports details some of the finer points about the shoe.</p>
<p><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="425" height="350" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/n5wMza29JwI" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="350" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/n5wMza29JwI"></embed></object></p>
<h3>How it Works</h3>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2043" title="gps shoe explanation" src="http://funcfash.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/gps-shoe-explanation.jpg" alt="gps shoe explanation" width="500" height="418" /></p>
<p>A GPS receiver is built into the shoe.  The shoe has bluetooth so you can link up to 5 different bluetooth enabled cell phones.  These are the contacts that will be contacted if the shoe wearer enables the &#8220;emergency contact&#8221; button on the shoe.  When the wearer pushes the button a central monitoring station in Miami is alerted and will try to contact established emergency contacts. If these people can&#8217;t be contacted they will then contact the police.</p>
<p><script type="text/javascript">// <![CDATA[
               google_ad_client = "pub-8520944355313153"; /* 468x60, created 8/12/09 */ google_ad_slot = "5962325563"; google_ad_width = 468; google_ad_height = 60;
// ]]&gt;</script><br />
<script src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js" type="text/javascript">
</script></p>
<p>The reverse case works as well.  For the times that a person can&#8217;t activate the emergency button the Miami monitoring center can track the location of the shoe wearer.  So say my fiance says she&#8217;s going antique shopping in New Bern, North Carolina for the weekend.  I want to go with her, but my case load is just too high and I can&#8217;t get away from the office.  She goes away and I stay working.  However, I try calling her repeatedly on the cell phone, but to no avail.  Days go by and I don&#8217;t hear from her.  I then contact the center and they give me the location of her last known whereabouts.  I got to the address to find &#8230;</p>

How could you??" width="445" height="293" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Honey!  How could you??</p></div>
<p>She&#8217;s with NOAH!  Her ex-boyfriend!  That cheating whore!  Thanks Issac Daniels.  You just saved me from a loveless marriage.</p>
<p>Anyway, even crazier is this shoe is supposed to work with Facebook.  So you can send status updates to your heart&#8217;s content letting people know exactly where you are.</p>
<p>This could be all yours for $150 (and most likely a $20 monthly service agreement&#8230;that seems to be how most of these GPS enabled services work).</p>
<p>It&#8217;s not as convenient as the <a href="http://funcfash.com/2009/08/ffpi-3-gps-wedding-bands-lojack-for-spouses/">GPS wedding bands</a>, but I tell you&#8230;those are coming soon!</p>
