This weekend, the hacker
extraordinaires from GearBox are hosting "Hack Weekend Boulder"
in downtown Boulder, Colo. This event will run from 10:30AM on July 24th until
10PM on July 25th and caters towards Android developers. So what's this "hack
weekend" all about? Glad you asked!
GearBox is a Boulder-based start
up that works with consumer electronics companies and developers to bring phone
controlled open devices to the market. With this in mind, they created the
"Hack Weekend" event to bring Android developers together to play
around with their new Smart Ball APIs. These cool new "toys" (I almost feel bad
calling them that) allow you to control a ball via Bluetooth from your Android
2.1+ based phone. Once you have control of the ball, what you do with it is up
to you.
The event will give
you the opportunity to experiment with the Smart Ball, hang out with some
like-minded hackers, and possibly win a Smart Ball of your own! The top app may
also get mentioned at the Techstars Investor
Day in front of a whole slew on venture capitalists. All you need to
participate is a computer and an Android 2.1+ based phone. GearBox will be
providing free food, free beer, and free Red Bull - awesome! Sign-up
