“The Gentlemen of Bacongo”, a book released in 2009 by photographer Daniele Tamagni, features a Congolese subculture called Le Sape (short for Société des Ambianceurs et des Personnes Élégantes, or the Society of Tastemakers and Elegant People).

‘Geoloqi is a private, real-time mobile and web platform for securely sharing location data, with features such as Geonotes, proximal notification, and sharing real-time GPS maps with friends.’
Um wat? As geographically-specific apps are becoming more and more common, programmes like Geoloqi, which allow developers to add location data to their apps, will help create web and phone services that respond in a more adaptive way to your daily routine. For example…
- Leave yourself a note which you’ll get next time you’re at the grocery store
- Get an SMS when you’re nearby apartments that match your Craigslist search criteria
- Automatically check in to your favorite places on Foursquare if you’re there more than 10 minutes
- Automatically send your carpool buddies an SMS when you’re half a mile from the pickup spot
- Automatically send your boss an email if you’re not at work at 9am, saying exactly how late you’ll be, based on your current location
- Turn on lights when you get home, turn them off when you leave.
- For developers: Trigger a callback URL when you enter or leave a specific location
All very cool, but for some real secret agent action you want the Reverse Geocache Briefcase. Rather than having a combination, the lock only opens when it senses, by GPS, that you are in the right location:
