buttercreami-cing asked: hi, sorry for this random question.. I've never been to a 'hack-day' type thing before, is it okay to go if you're not that amazing a programmer? I've never made an app before, but the hack day I want to go to is based on making apps in the area I'd like to build apps in.. Is it common for newbies to show up at these things or would it be kinda pointless?

Last month I received a frantic text message from my roommate. “I have an awesome idea but no one to do it with! :(” His idea involved taking a swing voter in the upcoming presidential election and putting their vote up to a vote on Twitter. Each public tweet containing either one of our two hashtags would count as a vote in either direction and at the end of the project span,...

Project 1: Arduino-Powered Bathroom Vacancy Light,...
I have finally decided to start a project with Arduino and… as I am a problem-solver, I have decided to learn as I go and solve a problem at the same time. THE PROBLEM I live in a 3 bedroom apartment that I share with two other roommates. They are wonderful people, however, we all share a similar morning schedule and I often find myself pulling myself out of bed and zombie-walking to the...

I collaborated with a team to conceptualize, code, and present our site fourplay at TechCrunch Disrupt Hackathon over the last 24 hours. It is a site that mashes up Craigslist Missed Connection listings and Foursquare User data to bring you missed connections that happened near or at your check-ins. We leveraged Craigslist, MetaLayer, Factual, and Foursquare and won a prize from MetaLayer for...

me: yeah, i know, but that's the only drawback
kxd: i'm sure there are others...
me: otherwise, it's more efficient
me: more time awake = more stuff done, more things read, more INFORMATION IN MY BRAIN
me: MORE EPISODES OF THE WIRE
me: O_O
kxd: you are not a machine.
