This afternoon I attended the opening Start-Up sessions of the hackNY student Hackathon at NYU. We heard from a great number of start-ups about their APIs and hacking. My favorites included foursquare, bit.ly (adding .qrcode to the end of your shortened url produces a qr code for the site), Kodingen online code editor, Twilio cloud communications, the New York Times Developer Network, and drop.io file sharing.
Tonight I went to watch the Vimeo Festival + Awards light show projection on the Frank Gehry designed IAC building in the Meatpacking District. The piece was done by Seeper, an arts and technology collective. Enjoy the following two clips from the performance.
