Who invented runpee

You can find any movie currently in theaters the RunPee China app features films playing on the mainland and see where the best pee breaks are ahead of time. Synopses are available, so you can read about what you missed. Additionally, RunPee includes synopses of the first three minutes of each film in case you arrive late , tells you which films are worth seeing in 3D and whether there are bonus scenes after the credits. The app is free to download and use, but there are five-second ads to wait through each time you click to see the 'peetimes' for a movie.

We wish RunPee China like the original RunPee app functioned in both English and Mandarin currently it only runs in the latter , but maybe that's asking too much. We'll have to start learning these characters sooner or later RunPee is available for iPhone and Android devices. Visit runpee. Or worse, sat cross-legged in the cinema too afraid to leave in case you lost the plot? Californian Dan Florio has.

It was while watching the three-hour King Kong movie, which he uncomfortably endured despite an urgent need to go to the loo. In retrospect he realised he could have missed the boring bug scene and so created RunPee, a website, now an app, of a host of films and their missable parts. The app is available on iPhone, BlackBerry and Android platforms.

RunPee is an app that tells you when to go to the toilet mid-movie and not miss anything crucial. Billed as the app that lets your bladder enjoy the movie as much as you do, wags call it the "wiki-pee-dia" for cinephiles with small bladders. You can program the app so it buzzes to tell you when pee times approach. It may be a good idea to keep your vibrating mobile device away from your full bladder though.

That was the first media mention that RunPee. The next few weeks were exhilarating. I was doing five, ten, a dozen interviews a day — mostly radio. I remember that after doing interviews all day I had to set my alarm to wake up at some god-awful hour like AM to do an interview for a radio station in South Africa. So, what to do? This is before Android existed.

Through a loose string of connections, I met a couple of men who created a startup for building mobile applications for athletes. One of the investors in this startup was Jordan Palmer, brother to Carson Palmer, both of whom were quarterbacks for the Cincinnati Bengals. We form a partnership, and they got busy building the RunPee app for iPhone. It did okay for the first few months or so. But we really needed to make a splash and get more people talking about RunPee.

Hard Knocks is a behind the scenes look at training camp, from the POV of one team each year. Now think about all the things that have lined up at this point: the randomness of building RunPee just to improve my programming skills; calling into TechTV ; a listener just randomly commenting on a blog, which turns into an article, which gets the attention of NPR, which leads to world-wide coverage. And now, the guys who are building the RunPee app for me just happen to have an investor who is a professional quarterback on the team that is about to be covered in-depth by Hard Knocks.

We really want to use Hard Knocks as a platform to get the word out about RunPee, but how? And not really related to the show.
