You might have heard the chuckling around Valentine's Day, which is also close to National Condom Week on the calendar about a new effort to have couples check in when having safe relations. The coveage I saw didn't highlight the main message of the backers, Planned Parenthood of the Great Northwest: safe relations. The map is out and show 8,000 checkins. Some 60,000 QR coded condoms were distributed to entice visitors to the site to checkin, but anyone visiting the website can checkin.
Planned Parenthood of the Great Northwest has combined the use of new social media technology with their National Condom Week campaign to promote safe sex practices, specifically among young adults and college students. PPGNW launched WhereDidYouWearIt.com and released 60,000 QR-coded condoms in Idaho, Alaska and Washington that send smartphone users to the site.

Among those toeing the line at 8 am Saturday in Houston will be fellow GIS professional Paul Peterson (DM interview). The women (among whom I'm not aware of any GIS professionals) step off at 8:15 am. Over the air TV coverage is that afternoon. Good luck Paul!
At my house, Paul will be "our guy" since our local guy, who we hoped might run, got injured and didn't have a chance to make the qualifying time. We're still behind you 100% Alex!
