Geotagging. I can easily see this being used as part of a presentation. I'm sure it's already widely used in the tourism business, and examples of it are very well used in the realty business. Whether I have a use for it depends entirely on where my degree takes me.
Geocaching was a huge fad a few years back. It sounded like fun, but I didn't have a GPS then.

Thing 15, or: How I went fishing for pods
I've listened to a number of these over the last few years (typically interviews with musicians), and I LOVE the on-demandness of them. That's right, I said on-demandness. See the link below to listen to those who take the language to task in a far more professional manner than I.

Podcast alley seemed to be the most user-friendly directory on a quick run-through. Podcast.com comes in at a close second. EPD hurts my eyes.

Thing 14, the e-nag
Oh please can I add stress to my life with email reminders?*
I know when everything is due except 16 Things, which apparently has no due date. Correct me if I'm wrong. Perhaps I've missed that, but as it was presented as an afterthought...???
As I get into some more involved classes I can see how this might be helpful. I'll be juggling a whole lot of balls that I've never juggled before.

Online Productivity Thing
iGoogle. I chose iGoogle. Why? Because most of my stuff is Google based. That's the only reason...well not quite. I trust Google to do what it says it will do, when it says it will do it.
I'm setting up my iGoogle page with some of my more common areas of visitation.
Online calendar: this may be useful when I'm in more of a position to be online for the bulk of my time. Since I am a WDIMite, this will likely occur. :) There's little use for a computer at all in my present daily job, so I can't apply any of this there. :(
To-do lists: Online? Again, perhaps in the future. Right now, making a list online would be like making a grocery list on paper and leaving it at home. Online lists are not portable with the equipment I have available to me.
Everything else: ask me again in a year.

Yummy thing
Part one: the horse died in a suffocating layer of tags. I get it.
Pressing onward with part two.
Naturally, the time I have to explore delicious for this project, the site is down. Super.
This is one I can actually see using for non-private bookmarks. I'm notorious for bookmarking in my browser and I never remember websites.
Anyway, I know what it does and how it works and will be using this one as soon as it's not down. Trust me, I'll get back to you one this one.
Oooh...one more thought. You'll notice that I specifically mentioned 'non-private' bookmarks. Do people actually use this for non-professional bookmarking? If so, how many have lost jobs?

Sharing Thing
In the future, when I have a presentation or portfolio item, i.e.: LOOK AT ME! item, I shall post up.
Slideshare appears to be pretty simple to use and I was going to use it, but I have no content to upload.

Thing Ten, or Thing Nine Redux
CD COVER MAKER! CD COVER MAKER!
If I ever complete an album's worth of material, that'll be downright nifty. It could happen sooner than I think if my birthday treats me with Ableton. Self-promotion: check.
Online photo sharing poses obvious problems with copyright law, but most of these can be avoided -- if the photographer so chooses -- by the use of a watermark.
