Sounds good to me Andrew. I'll even have more to present. In early July I volunteer for a week at the Camp for which I rode to raise money.

You realize that you are only two steps away from a reality tv show contest where you get to say "You're beta is over!!" in a Trump-esque role.

I'm loving these videos. Awesome content.

Do you guys have any plans to showcase some of the companies who are participating in Boston?

Check out ShopSavvy (http://www.biggu.com/apps/shopsavvy-android/). Similar to the Red Laser solution for iPhone, but then for Android. Its fully functioning and works well. I know, it does nothing for you if you're on iPhone, but it shows that it can be done well with full functionality.

Congrats on the accomplishment! That sounds like an awesome time! 220 miles for the month is insane...keep up the great work. When you do the 1/2 Ironman, you should find some way to stream or capture it on video :) Hope you're doing well!

Dang, I had proposed a topic a couple weeks ago to Hyde, but I guess it did not make the "Ignite 5" cut.

Maybe another time.

So tell me about this conference.

In my eyes this makes search MORE relevant (just not to your particular needs at the time).

I hope Carey Larken does more than stand up and read this paper from a few years ago: http://www.greenharbor.com/fffolder/carkeet.html

Re: Spec Work Is Evil / Why I Hate CrowdSpring | Andrew Hyde - Humble Yet Bold

Andy Harris — Thu, 25 Jun 2009 10:45:21 -0000

Thank you for this post. I'm not sure definitive evil like eating babies or bombing a subway is in the same league as spec work, but your literary license to exaggerate is welcomed. There is something wrong about exploiting someone's ambitions to be a real designer saying that if they donate their work product, then they have a random chance at winning a prize. This sounds more like a lottery to me. Sure gambling is the exchange of "money" for a random chance at winning a prize, but what is money if not the proxy for one's work product or labor? As such, it should be regulated as a lottery and odds of winning should be posted for each job. And it should be taxed accordingly as well. 90% of all profits of these "contests" should be paid into the state budgets of each state they operate in.

Great piece. Let's defeat this right wing strategy by repeatedly publicizing it for the cynical, manipulative, deceitful, self-serving ploy it is, along with facts to counter each of their claims. Publicize this on Rachael Maddow, www.geonlineservice.com Keith Olbermann & other progressive political shows. Get it out to many of the online news websites, Huffington Post, etc. Use tactics the right has used (being very vocal, not being timid about challenging them, and always quickly countering their proclamations with the facts and truth~

This'll be great! Glad to see some of the presentations from the last one that I wanted to see but whose presenters couldn't make it.

Re: A Geek Meetup In Boulder?

I am already discussing with Marc on having the first Startup Weekend in Sub-Saharan Africa and indications show that it would be quite exciting for Nigerians who are great with ideas, but are handicapped by bad policies in a politically charged atmosphere. I am seeing the revolution of startups in Nigeria for the realization of our Vision 2020 once we orgainize the first one successfully.

Yes, please do join us tomorrow (Tuesday). I'd love to see the geek community in Boulder. In the meantime, check out my CNET Road Trip 2009 package: http://bit.ly/RoadTrip2009.

Also, just for full disclosure: I've got some DVD sets and video games to give away. But no budget for pints, I'm afraid. :-)

Oh yeah, many miles yet to come!

Mesa sometime this week?

Thanks!

The big line in the morning was getting a timing chip. You had to find your line, with your bike in tow, to get checked out.

Will do some of the open water swims!

Thanks! Remember last year when I was asking how the hell you ran more than a mile?

I caught the bug.

They felt fast. Both times I left my area thinking 'I must still be wearing my helmet' or forgetting something major.

Now, off to longer distances?
