HacDC

My fellow DCers! This Friday some friends of HacDC will be putting on a gaming and music event outside of Philadelphia (Bellmawr, NJ) – I wanted to throw this out to anyone interested in going. I will be heading up there Friday afternoon (around noon) and we may have an extra seat or two, anyone interested please email me at andrew@i11industries.com. For more information check out their post:

Hey everyone, wanted to let you know that me and a few friends of mine are going to be putting on a fundraiser in South Jersey for the American Cancer Society. We’ll have live music from some local bands and Japanese Punk Band Peelander Z, in addition we’ll have TVs set up for gaming, everything from old school Nintendo to Xbox 360s. There will be a few tournaments for Halo 3, Rock Band, Soul Calibur IV, and Super Smash Bros. Brawl with great prizes. If you have a chance stop by the Station 33 Fire Hall in Bellmawr, NJ on the 22nd of August at 4pm.

Tickets are $20 at the door, for more info go to https://www.extinctionlevelevents.com or email Aaron@ExtinctionLevelEvents.com

Thanks and hope to see you there!

What a brilliant idea, sewing 2D barcodes onto patches that re-direct to specific (and changeable) URLS ! The thing that amazes me MOST of all is that you can snap the p8tch with an iPhone and some software to decode this. WOW ! I’m not sure what I was doing a couple years ago but when I developed a 2D Matrix (PDF417) barcode reader, I couldn’t get any software to image and decode that damn thing. Congrats 2Dsense you are a better man than I.

enjOi – I am buying one for my black lab coat. I know what everyone is thinking right now, this is just another excuse to create a severely over-arching attempt to rick roll somebody. Be a little more creative than that.

The truth is, we are more than our credit scores.  Who gave 3 companies the right to use secret calculations to

determine if we qualify for credit, for a job, or even renting a house.  We did.  Credit scores are used everywhere as a standard measure of character.  But the truth is, humanity can’t be summed up by looking at open lines of credit and how close you are to your credit limit.  Did using your credit card to replace your fridge for your family devalue you as a human?  Experian would beg to differ…

We are changing this!  We can redefine character, using real values.  We are humans, not machines, and we have a say!

This code project is an open-source social experiment.  I am leading the development of a new system, one where the scoring algorithms are developed by the people.  It’s a system where we each hold another accountable for our actions and value what really matters to each of us.

It culminates to Judgmatics.

The kickoff for this project has been postponed, but stay tuned for the new date!
