HP Anywhere Hackathon Day 1

I went up to the HP Anywhere hackathon today in San Francisco. This hackathon was a bit different from the others I’ve been to.

Sure, there have been food trucks at other hackathons. Curry Up Now served burritos for lunch. That wasn’t what was different.

It was the nerf guns placed around the room.

Yep, this was a warzone for sure. Noobs hid as serious coders cranked out code and awesomeness in the middle of the room.

The camera crew asked to be pardoned from the fight, but instead found their cameras being aimed for.

The aftermath.

As night fell, more burritos were brought in for dinner.

Hearing that Pier 39 is celebrating their 35th birthday with fireworks each Saturday this month, I biked over to Pier 39 in time for the show. People gathered on the waterfront at the end of the pier.

The fireworks were beautiful with the light reflecting off the bay. Unlike the fireworks at Great America, I could see them being lit and fired off the barge on the bay.
