This hackday is special for me, for a couple of reasons.
First and foremost, I am going to see my idol Douglas Crockford in person π He is one of the reasons why I started loving JavaScript and I am really excited about meeting him in person and to listen to his talk.
Update: Here are the photos

And the second reason is that, we are going to have hardware hacks during the event. Yes you read it right π This time we are planning to have tech talks about hardware and let people do hardware hacks as well.
Regular readers of my blog would know that I hack around hardware (especially Arduino) as a hobby and you could understand my excitement.
I am also going to give a talk on Arduino and Android ADK and will be demoing some of the hacks which I have created using them.
If this hasnβt convinced you, then there is more. Yahoo is also going to sponsor 50% price for the hardware that you need for hacking. Yes, you read it right again. π We have arranged this offer with 9 Circuits.Β Head over to the Open hackday wiki to get more details about it.
See you guys at Open Hack day next weekend.
