Welcome! and thank you for visiting my little home on the web. I would love to tell you more about my journeys in tech and running. I mostly write about what I learn from running long distances and building large scale web applications. I also enjoy reading your email responses.
Thank you, Chris
The 2016 IoT hackday was so much fun! To give you an idea of what a hackday is and how it is structured I outlined The Team Random 2016 Hackday.
Enjoy! Chris
Team Random was put together so anyone who came to IoT Hackday would have a team to join. Most of us met for the first time today.
We started from scratch.
No plan.
No idea.
After coffee and breakfast (Yum, I love muffins for breakfast) we worked together to plan our project. We settled on bell training puppies.
All the teams gave a 2 minute summary of what they planned to create today. This was the first time we presented our idea to the event.
Wow! We finished our MVP before lunchtime. I am so excited by our progress. We have an amazingly talented team.
Delicious lunch! I went back for seconds (maybe thirds :-)
Even during an intensely focused hackathon we took time to take care of our minds and bodies. It is so important to prevent burnout.
We finished our MVP and now we expand our scope. The unique abilities of each team member shined here. I love watching everyone working in their flow.
We are all hacking together. Always glad to help out another team.
The light indicator for behind the entertainment center is complete.
Yeah! A branded mobile app built custom for our project.
Solving edge case problems with this addition. The creativity of our team is inspiring.
Show time! This is my favorite part. We presented our project to the friends and family that came to vote and support the event.
Amazing projects were completed today. We didn’t win a prize today. We did accomplish more than any of us at first thought possible. I’m so proud of Team Random.
