Hackathon action

In the car, at a hackathonSo I went to my first hackathon this weekend at the Facebook HQ.

It was like a 9 hour drive to get there, but Nicholas and Pokin won first place and I got my paws on a Microsoft Surface tablet as a result so I guess it was worth it.  I deserved that tablet since Nicholas used my Facebook account to do his demo since he didn’t even have one of his own.

I was mostly left to my own devices in the car but at least Nicholas had the foresight to bundle me up warmly in a scarf.

And anyway when no one was looking I snuck into Facebook and helped myself to some chocolate.  My Assassin’s Creed style scarfing helped me stay stealth.

My bear tin

My bear tinI want to draw your attention to a very important object in this photograph.

No not my pet dog Cuddle Pup.

It’s the tin right in front of me..

That’s my bear tin.

Whenever Nicholas sells something on Craigslist or earns some kind of money, I make sure to take prompt ownership of any cash generated in those transactions.  After all, of course any money Nicholas generates selling things must have been intended for my tin.

And that tin is very important.  I use it to fund my investments.  Investments like the one I made into Nicholas’ business.   I was his first investor and I put a full $500 into his business.  So I’m keeping a close eye on him.  I expect to be paid back.  With interest.  And gaming.
