This photobooth I found at a Microsoft Bing event last week reminds me that,
1) I still really want (to build) a photobooth, but can’t justify it other than to send goofy photos to my friends.
2) My Palm Pre is not holding up so well. Low light is tough for any camera, but the photos just look sad and dated (but not in the hipster Instagram sort of way).
I just returned from a Seattle Hacks/Hackers event at Groundwire’s office in downtown Seattle. If you aren’t familiar with Hacks/Hackers, it’s mission is to try and connect hacks (journalists) together with hackers (developers) to work on interesting problems. Because of my journalism and developer background, it’s a group where I feel right at home.
Tonight’s event was a brainstorming session for the Knight-Mozilla Challenge. The night felt just like a hack-a-thon, but without the coding part. After some inspirational demos by Vectorform and Grist we broke into small teams and tried to come up with interesting ideas in the categories of Video, User Engagement and HTML5.
