Perhaps GeekWire intern Lily Katz used this week’s app of the week to record her first appearance on the GeekWire podcast.

1 Second Everyday is an app that encourages users to record a one second snippet of their day each and every day.

“Basically at the end of a month or a year you can compile all these one second snippets into a longer video,” says Lily. “It’s a good way to chronicle a month, or chronicle a year.”

Lily says the creator, Cesar Kuriyama, found that after recording snippets of his life for a period it compelled him to use his time more carefully.

“This project has had such a profoundly positive impact on my life, that I’ve passionately developed an app that will make it extraordinarily easy for anyone to do this too,” writes Kuriyama in the app description at iTunes.

Kuriyama is two years into recording his life and says he looks forward to having an hour-long movie to watch on his 40th birthday.

“If I live to see 80 years of age, I’ll have a 5-hour video that summarizes 50 years of my life.”

1 Second Everyday is available for 99 cents on iTunes.

GeekWire airs on KIRO Radio Saturdays at 7 a.m. and 9 p.m. Available ON DEMAND at MyNorthwest.com.
