I was a hacker there. I actually think some of the coolest projects went totally unnoticed. My personal favorite was http://www.bbcat.co/, which some Rutgers people made. There were also some pretty sweet hardware ones out there. Some guys used electrodes attached to a person to play that google doodle running game.

I really thought the ones that won were pretty sensationalist and not particularly complex.

(they also needed to feed us better. Some dark rooms would have been nice too...)
