The Problem with Jet Lag

The problem with jet lag is that it scrambles my brain. I am awake. I feel good. I think all is well, but I make poor decisions; I get disoriented; and I just can't trust my brain.

I enjoyed making the ParisMap app from App Inventor 2 this week. I tweaked it to meet my needs as I am currently in the UK on training. Unfortunately, I shut the gate after the horse got out. I feel my app could have been useful to me prior to my walking 16,000 steps through the streets of London in an attempt to find a bus stop. Had my maps been working correctly - or better yet - had my brain been able to better interpret google maps, I would have realized it was easier to walk back to the Hotel than find a bus stop.

On a side note, my sister and brother-in-law were talking with me at my niece's wedding. My sister and her husband are developing a website for the Alpine Nature Center. They have done a wonderful job uploading and organizing content. They were expressing the desire to have an Android app associated with the Nature Center to help people make better use of the hiking trails and learn to identify the flora and fauna found in Lambert Park.

This app directly relates to their needs. In addition, my sister just made travel books for her family's upcoming trip to Israel. An app such as the ParisMap app could be developed to contain the information in her book while also providing access to interactive content that could be helpful on the trip.

I look forward to discussing these solutions with her when I get back stateside.
