my neverending trip dot com
The day is soon approaching where, if I wanted, I could leave South Florida behind, buy a travel trailer, and work from anywhere in the Continental United States with a clear view of the southern sky.
How I'd love to compose my missives right on the road, upload photographs of only a moment before. I'd even have a streaming 24-hour-a-day Cary-road-cam, for the viewing pleasure of anyone around the nation.
I'd create a Java applet that people can load right onto their own personal page, answering the burning question on everyone's mind, "Where is Cary now?" You'd be able to click the little updating graphic to be linked to a full page map of North America where GPS positioning will indicate my position with a little icon, anywhere, any time of day or night.
The wonderful thing about being a rolling stone in today's world is that I'll be able to telecommute from everywhere, at any time, day or night. After all, what do I do for a living that can't be done digitally, instant upload, job done? Imagine the stress relief from being able to put in a full 9 to 5 day in my underwear, munching on donuts with a splendid view of Mount Rushmore or the Grand Canyon.
I'll need, of course, some corporate sponsors. What will it be worth to them to advertise on a website, consisting of 24-hour a day me, likely to have tens of thousands of visits a day?
And the whole thing wouldn't be complete without merchandising… Tee-shirts, coffee mugs, Cary bobbleheads—bumper stickers proclaiming, "My other car is Cary's Neverending Trip dot com!"
You would drop a five for one of those, wouldn't you?
