Hackday is a Wrap

Congratulations, Emily, Diane, and Audrey, who won the Hack Day contest with a wearable that photblogs on the fly and leverages Yahoo’s Flickr and ZoneTag (see the TechCrunch writeup).  Congratulations are deserved by everyone else who participated and brought so much creative enthusiasm to the event - i was especially impressed by the people I met who came from far away at great inconvenience and expense, as well as those who hacked right on through the Beck concert; they were really living and breathing the spirit of the event.
I want to say a huge thank you to the Yahoo! organizers who made this happen, Chad and the YDN team, along with all the volunteer staff.  The impact of this on Yahoo! itself is huge, and it’s the kind of thing that makes me psyched to work here.  Thank you.
