Article excerpt...
MIAMI -- Global Positioning System technology is turning up in more and more devices, like watches and cellphones.
But a Miami company has used the technology to develop shoes that can be located anywhere in the world.
The shoes' developer Sayo Isaac Daniel said people can forget to carry their phones, but they can't leave the house without their shoes.
The design allows wearers to press a hidden button to send a distress signal.
The Quantum Satellite Technology shoes are planned to hit stores in March at a price of $325 to $350.
These sound like a really good idea. Hopefully the price will come down and the technology can be fitted into existing shoe lines.

How did I get talked into this?
Joe Hunkins A.K.A. Joe Duck over at:
http://joeduck.wordpress.com/
convinced me that I needed to start to blog. Let's see where this journey takes us.
Joe has shown me the real power of the blog during the James Kim search effort in Josephine County, Oregon. Joe really deserves a lot of credit for assembling a thoughtful group of people who are now embarking on an effort trying to improve the process involving search efforts by coordinating volunteers on the internet and analyzing data. Nice job Joe!
Thanks Joe (I think!).
You should definitely check out his blog it really rocks.
