Happy Hacking!

Long overdue but welcome to another day of the life of two weirdos!

This time, hackathon style.

From Friday Jan 24-Sunday Jan 27, we braved 45 hours of brain freezes and heavy coding in the largest hackathon in West Coast history.

Location: Room next to Nordstrom near 3rd Street Promenade, Santa Monica

Thanks to HackTech for hosting the event and bringing in special guests like Jermaine Dupri, Childish Gambino and the CEO's and master developers of several other sponsors(Mashery, Digital Ocean, NameCheap, Firebase, etc.).

Let's take a look at what went on.



Day 1:

Hello Microsoft. With Microsoft as the HackTech event sponsor, HackTech just got even better

Jermaine Dupri and the CEO of RapGenius show. Half of the coders are too enthusiastic about their potential projects as half of them are already coding away. Sorry guys!

About a thousand participants fill the arena. Workspace gets crowded especially when some of the rowdier teams distract.

Welcome to our workspace. Each of the hundreds of tables are littered with outlets, wires and hardware.
Bringing apple chargers sure plants your name as an outlet hog.
Apple may want to consider creating smaller chargers.

After a day of intros, wi-fi crashes, and pre-coding, we get sleepy and start sleeping under our workspaces.
Here's a picture of a guy sleeping across from me.
Wipe out!

Day 2:

Second day: Childish Gambino shows up. The minute he arrives, coders start forming a...."swarm?" around him.

Second to last day, our sleeping habits morph. We evolved from sleeping under tables to sleeping in sleeping bags in packs.
Oh. We're tired.

Definitely not sleeping in there.

Day 3:

It's Demo Day! Everyone scrambles to put together finishing touches on apps. Ready or not, our apps will be presented science fair style.

This is what we were missing. Sunshine and fresh air. First pic of the real world outside of Hackathon.

With the event over, we wish for more.

Heading back to the buses that'll take us back to school.

One of the most exciting times of our lives. So want to do it again! :D

If you see your face in any of those pictures and don't want the pics up, let us know and we'll take it down right away.
