Great link! Buckland is a stellar lecturer. Stumbled across him some time ago.

Excellent point! We're planning on launching that feature today, and so the materials should be up shortly afterwards.

Something like that.

The idea is to make things low-friction, mobile-centric, zero login.

I'm the Android developer on the team. It's been a wild ride so far.

We had an insane stop in Baton Rouge. Police escort into town, drinks at a rooftop bar overlooking the river, and hotel & dinner paid for by the Chamber of Commerce. Southern hospitality is indeed a wonderful thing.

In any case, we launched our 0.9 yesterday. It's very rough, but the full featureset should be arriving today/tomorrow.

Wish us luck as we polish the app up for the semifinal & final rounds!

I'm a member. Things seem pretty rad so far!

Dedicated members get the best treatment, of course, but community members like me still get 24/7 access to the building and full use of the conference rooms, etc.

The remodeling is great and they've done a good job with furniture. The common areas are perpetually occupied, but not crowded.

Will be interesting to see how the mandatory lessons and blog posts pan out. I'm actually quite looking forward to them.
