For the technically disinclined, it's a way to generate a bunch of random location every day, generally within a hundred miles of you, the intrepid adventurer. Call it your daily flash mob.
It looks like the Wasatch Front is bisected by a latitude and longitude line, so every day there are four separate points to choose from. Today, the most accessible one is out on Antelope Island.
It looks straightforward enough, it wouldn't be hard to build an RSS feed or a Twitter agent that would publish the day's points as soon as the market opened. The only thing I'm unsure about is getting the market data.
I've also spent a bit of time thinking about alternate reality topographies. Combining the ideas could make for an interesting ARG.
You could alter the geohashing concept by allowing people to define their own center point and scaling factor, maybe add their own private salt (geek term) so their results were different from anyone else's.
This could make a nifty Facebook app. Seriously, they're better at keeping track of your friends than I could ever implement.
