BlackLine GPS Blog

While I’m blogging on my new Dell 2407FPW 24.0-inch Wide Flat Panel (on sale right now in Canada!), I thought that I’d comment on how we browse happenings in technology on the Web. There are a few blogs that we frequent daily that you may appreciate as well.

Check out Engadget, Techeblog, and Gizmodo. Though we have frequented Engadget the longest, we particularly like Techeblog’s coverage of sports cars - especially the BBC Top Gear links. - Thanks! We also like the High Definition TV blog of EngadgetHD.

We’re here in overcast Flordia, exhibiting at the Performance Racing Industry (PRI) trade show. For us Canadians, the temperature is balmy, however, overcast. The forecast is for continued overcast-ness and showers through the show.

This show is, in fact, the world’s largest racing show. We attended last year, introducing our FUEL GPS high accuracy racing system and met many great people and companies. Many of our FUEL product’s sales can be attributed to our attendance of last year’s show.

In addition to FUEL, we are showing our GPS Snitch tracking and vehicle security product at PRI. One of our friends had a trailer with two competition superbikes stolen last year. If only he had a GPS Snitch in this trailer at the time! PRI should have a good interest level in Snitch.

If you are attending the show, please don’t hesitate to stop by booth 4915 and say hello to Patrick and Jim.

Hello everyone,

This just in from the National Post here in Canada:

Since this link may not last long, here’s what Lowell Conn from the CanWest News Service has to say about GPS Snitch:
“INDULGE SUSPICION The Blackline GPS Snitch makes an interesting stocking stuffer. A self-contained tracker that requires no installation — just turn it on and hide it in the vehicle — the device monitors vehicle movement and can send notification via e-mail or text message to a mobile phone when it detects your car leaving a pre-defined area. It’s a good way to rest peacefully knowing your child cannot steal your wheels. But, when you’ve permitted use of the family car, log on to the Web site at www.gps-snitch.com to track it in real time. If your child is in a region fraught with the solicitation of illicit substances, you’ll know. If your child is hanging out with kids you’ve warned them about, you’ll know. And if your child has crossed the border with said substances in the company of said kids, you’ll know about it — even if you don’t want to. Too much knowledge can be a bad thing — this device should probably be used with discretion. US$400; visit www.blacklinegps.com.

This past week BlackLine GPS had the opportunity to represent Calgary, Alberta in a Wireless trade mission to San Diego, California. As part of this mission we were able to exhibit at the CommNexus GadgetFest and participate in a meet and greet with the best of the wireless industry.

The trade mission was an opportunity for leading technology companies from Alberta to showcase achievements on a worldstage. This trade mission was graciously sponsored by the Consulate of Canada in San Diego with the support of WiTec Alberta. Over the course of 2 days we had the opportunity to showcase our new wireless technology GPS Snitch. The feedback from industry peers on our design and integration was quite overwhelming to say the least and the response has reaffirmed the hard work we have put into this great product.

Thank you to everyone at the Consulate for all their hard work and efforts. We look forward to visiting beautiful San Diego again and we will gladly jump at any opportunity to trade -40 weather for +18!

Cheers,

Jim
