So far Open Hack Day has more than lived up to the hype. Met some really cool people so far. It’s fun to talk about all the different web technologies with them and hearing what languages and tools they work with on a daily basis.
The keynote by Clay Shirky was really good. He mostly went over how the web has changed how information is now being shared.
I went to the YAP session. Which was a pretty solid into to writing YAP applications.
Next session was YQL. Which was so packed that people had to sit on the floor! The guy sitting next to me was a pretty strange breather, which is always annoying. Plus he coughed while drinking a soda, which meant that I was kindly sprayed with some soda on the left side of my body. Very gross.
Lunch was awesome. I made a new friend all the way from Japan. A very interesting guy. The carrot cake stole the show in my opinion. Extremely good stuff.
Now I’m off to some more sessions, while trying to form a solid hack team for later tonight.

hey, what are you going to name your hack team?
Glad you are enjoying the conference and learning a lot. Don’t let anyone else sneeze on you. We are probably not covered for tht.
I like your Twitter widget. Interesting status updates. How did you get so lost in NYC? Afraid to ask directions? No GPS? You’re too much of a techie for that, jd!
kc
yes, I will avoid the sneezes. It was so gross, I don’t even like soda.
