Greetings from Las Vegas.. .. the most opposite place in the world from Jonesville vermont. I’m out at a conference this week.. Gabe, Jack and I left my mom’s hose this morning at 2:30 aM.. in order to drive through the slush and freezing rain to catch my 5 AM flight and their 6:30 fight. I gotta  get some sleep

I got here at 10 AM.. and went directly to help judge the ATT hackathon that we helped sponsor. It was such a great event.. 110 teams using any tools they wanted to create really cool IoT flows. We had connected car demos, connected health, smart home.. , tools for the blind and deaf. The creativity was really inspiring.

 

I had several folks recognize me from the colony.. it was that kind of geeky crowd.

Judging was really touch.. there were so many ideas, so many criteria.. but we all came together and got it down. here are my co judges..   .. My friend Gina from LocalMotors was one of the other judges which was fun.

there were more than 100,000 dollars in awards given out. My favorite was the Sosciety of Women Engineers team of the Lopez twins .. they were so great !!! .. I loved seeing them win big !

 

ok.. conciousness fading here.. more tomorrow

nite all. nite sam
