Geek Fitness With Nokia Geek
This is by far the best idea I’ve ever seen for how to use a Nokia application in the real world. Munkimatt, the Nokia Geek, has decided that he’s got a bit too much extra weight, and will be using Nokia’s Sports Tracker and new web service to track his new weight-loss suicide mission.The best part is, he’s going to be publishing it so that we can all laugh at his torment! He’s only up to Day 2 (though he started on December 5th) and there’s unfortunately not a video posted yet for Day 2. You can still enjoy the video from Day 1 as you help encourage Matt to get back into shape using his Nokia N95!Be sure to follow along online, as you can use the Nokia Sports Tracker online feature to view a map of where Matt runs, how long it takes him, and all the gory details. This is the part that’s the coolest to me, what about you? Be sure you add Nokia Geek to your RSS reader, as well, so you can follow along.Do you use your Nokia to help keep in shape?
Disclaimer: I only feel it’s hilarious because I’ve had a few pints with Matt and feel comfortable mocking him on my site. I have absolutely zero doubts in my mind that he would do the same for me, and I respect him more for it.
Damn sure I’d do it to you, I’m just awaiting my moment!
I really like the look of the Sports Tracker - great idea from Nokia (though it won’t work on my N80 without a bluetooth GPS thing … time I upgraded to the N95 as well).
