"SIPB/MIT/USA" postcard tracking tool

[adehnert]

There's a tradition of mailing SIPB a postcard from foreign countries, with an address of "SIPB / MIT / USA". It would be neat to make a tracking webapp where you'd enter your location when you sent a postcard, and somebody would mark the postcard off when we received it.

For bonus points, use an IP geolocation service to find the IP. (Google finds several. Akamai's (​http://www.akamai.com/html/technology/products/personalization.html) is the one I've encountered before -- they seem not to want to be a free API, though.)

(This would probably be a decent first webapp for somebody who wants to learn django, flask/sqlalchemy, rails, or some other tool.)
