Working with Bryan Lence in 1210 to create a surf report and alert application that works across mobile, web, and tv devices.

The idea is:

  1. you would be able to get alerts if weather and condition data plus user generated feedback meet your minimum requirements. In other words, if it’s 3-4 ft faces and your buddies are saying it’s good, you get out of bed.
  2. once you’re awake, turn on your tv and see real time and captured footage from different beaches, so you can decide where you want to go.
  3. you’re on the road, the same info is on your phone, along with directions and traffic.

Constituent Parts:

  • user uploads via textmarks & php/mysql
  • national weather service RSS feed
  • ip cams at beaches (this one may prove difficult)
  • Adobe air app to bring it all together and display it on the tv.
