November 1, 2012 - Hack-cation

 

November 1, 2012 - Mark Scheel of Digital Construction Inc. took a quick hack-cation to the bay area recently. He did a ten mile trail run north of the Golden Gate Bridge, through Muir Woods, spent time at the Startup House, and participated in a hackathon put on by Boulder, CO based Orbotix (Sphero) at the San Francisco office of Rackspace.

 

"A Hack-cation is a trip made with the intention of getting in some vacation and getting in some hacking. I left Denver on a Friday afternoon for San Francisco and came back Monday morning. I had an ambitious agenda, there were friends and babies and houses to see, landmarks to enjoy, exercise to complete and a programming contest to enter, it was what I call a hack-cation." explained Mark Scheel, president of Digital Construction.

 

Mark provided these pictures of his trail run. The panoramic photograph captured with his Android device shows a Pacific Ocean sunset on the right and the city of San Francisco on the left (photo taken NorthWest of the city).

 

 

The grand prize for the Sphero hackathon will be announced in late 2012 or early 2013. A note will be posted here with an update when it is available.

Mark will be at a developer event in November at the Boulder Google office, with Les Vogel and Paul Carff. If you want more information please contact us.
