Last night, while talking nonsense on our trip to Best Buy, D-- and I came up with an idea for an iPhone app that would probably make millions.
Specifically, I was complaining about everyone on Lostpedia going on and on about the need for the characters (until last night, at least, unstuck in time) to have Constants to keep them from dying of time sickness. (If you don't watch "Lost," none of this post will make any more sense than that sentence did.)
Anyway, the only life-saving Constant that we've seen in the show so far has been a loved one, specifically Desmond's girlfriend Penny, who was present in his life both before and after he became unstuck in time.
So with the obsession (among the most obsessed fans of the show, I guess I should say) over the concept of Constants, we decided it would be a good idea to write an app that allows people to mark somebody they know (or something precious to them) as their Constant.
Of course, it wouldn't actually do anything, but for a lark, I think it could be fun. I'm also working on ideas for some support documentation to include with it that could make it a pretty funny toy (like a checklist for what to do if you think you've become unstuck in time, or instructions on how to charge your iPhone if you find yourself in the Middle Ages -- stuff like that).
