Music Hack Day Boston, Nov 21
November 21, 2009
10 am: Saturday, November 21st:
I am a nerd imposter. Paul Lamere just announced that the primary activity for this weekend is hacking, and that everything else is optional. As someone who spends way more time doing experimentation and analysis than coding and soldering, I’m suddenly realizing that I’m the wrong kind of nerd.
I’m at Microsoft NERD’s sunny offices on the Charles River in Cambridge, in a room full of the right kind of nerd: people who are excited about spending the weekend creating at the intersection of music and technology. It’s still pretty early on Saturday morning, and the auditorium space is only about half-full (I guess the hackers are conserving their energy for some overnight hacking in the Echo Nest offices). Right now we’re listening to elevator pitches from companies like SoundCloud, SongKick, Collecta, Tapulous and more, all of whom are sharing their toys.
In a pleasant break from tradition, we ended the opening session twenty minutes early – let the hacking begin!
zed equals zee 
um, I have no idea how we missed you all day?! Maybe we’ll see you at the panels tomorrow!
Well, I mostly had my head down over a soldering iron, making my Atari Punk Console. But looking forward to seeing you tomorrow!
