Saturday nights WhereCampPDX 2009 hackathon focused on a couple of projects this year.  Michael Wiesman, Kate Chapman, James Fee, and Reid Beels worked with the foursquare api to create "super-mayors" for those that had the most checkins for a particular neighborhood.  Other projects included updates to the famous calagator and reving up packmanhattan for sundays geolocation games.  In the clip below Kate, James, Micheal, and Reid have fun with their project.

WhereCampPDX 2009 was held at Metro Regional Center this year (my hood) from October 2nd-4th.   Besides great food and sharp attitudes we had zombie survival strategies and strange maps.  This wherecamp was done in grand Portland style.  The event was held the weekend after the City of Portland passed a resolution opening city data up to the public.

I'm just this guy on the interwebs! Keeping it real. I'm interested in leveraging old and new internet technology to connect and forge high value relationships, change government, and help people find a voice (not voices in their heads). I'm a Geospatial Geek in the Portland area. I speak my own opinions and I'm working on leaving the porch light on for visitors. I'm a firm believer in doing as much good as I can before inevitably turning to the dark side.
