Captain’s Log: I’m At The Pub

A new iPhone app from Paramount Digital Entertainment promises to make every bar stool, waiting room chair, or restaurant booth your Captain’s Chair on the USS Enterprise. Star Trek Captain’s Log combines your social networks with the nerdy joy of recording your daily activities a la J.T. Kirk.

A log could include either audio, photo or text and your GPS location displayed on an in-app map. Once recorded, you can either keep it as your own private journal, or share it with Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr or other “Starfleet Captains” who use the app. A look at the map shows the locations of Captains around you. Consider it a geek locator, if you will.

The app also lets you personalize your “communicator” with skins, Star Trek sounds, images, and unique map pins corresponding to Enterprise class levels or an enemy starship. Yeah, if they didn’t have you before, Trekkies, they have you know.

Captain’s Log is made for iPhone 3GS using iOS4 and the iPhone 4. It’s a $1.99… and if you’re in Canada and a real fan of those seeking out new life and new civilizations, it’ll be the first thing you buy for your brand new iPhone 4 when it hits shelves in this country tomorrow.
