You see I come up with these things, I know they’re gold, but nothing happens. You know why?
No resources, no skill, no talent, no ability, no brains...Awww man, I suggested this idea to Goowy yesterday...
No, no…time! It’s all this meaningless time. Laundry, grocery, shopping, coming in here talking to you. Do you have any idea how much time I waste in this apartment?I can ball park it.

My email to Goowy:
Alright how about this one: A widget that tracks packages. You'd enter in your package ID and specify the shipping service. The widget would then periodically access the carrier and map the package location on a google maps type interface. Multiple packages could be mapped in different colors, with lines depicting the paths they've taken. The map extent could automatically zoom as the packages get closer to their destination.
Of course the web implementation isn't perfect, it'd be better integrated into a mail client that would automatically recognize tracking numbers and links. Plus I wouldn't worry about providing some random website with my package info.
Oh, also check out this page. Excellent resource.

i used UPS tracker for the first time this recent holday season. i wrote a blog about my experience. but i found out that basicly now matter what "day" air shipping you use, it gets there right away and then sits in a wherehouse for how ever many "days" shipping priority you paid for. also they couldnt tell me where the truck my package was on was.
so in my case i think that widget would be useless.
