Long Distance Lovin' at the Wal

[EvilEmpryss]

Swung by my local Wally World tonight to grab a new bottle of Mio and was subjected to this freaky-yet-kinda-sweet scene:

A tall scraggly man who looked a lot like one of the Duck Dynasty crew was walking around up and down the aisles, playing music from his iPhone out of a bluetooth speaker while simultaneously sharing with whoever he had on the other end of the line why he thought that particular song reminded him of (assuming) her. He wouldn't let the song finish, but would hold his phone out, find another song, and murmur more sweet nothings into the phone while holding the speaker up to the phone's mic. It wouldn't have been quite so bad if the music wasn't turned up loud enough to be heard three aisles over and tinny as all hell.

I wanted to tell him to just go be with her already, but for all I know there's some tragic series of misfortunes and obstacles keeping them apart and it would be heartless of me to taunt them with the distance that has been forced between them. So I left him to his long distance serenade and went on my way.

Hmm.

There must be an app for that.

If there isn't, I sense a market opportunity here.

Too bad I never really had the discipline to actually stick with programming outside of a classroom.

Actually yeah, that's a brilliant idea. ALSA could do it with a virtual loopback device, as I do that on my computer all the time. Unfortunately Android doesn't use ALSA, so I have no idea if it could be done. I know it could be done on a phone that supports ALSA.

When I was still with my ex, we sent each other songs that reminded us of the other person. But it was always youtube videos so we could watch when we had a free moment.
