Ignite Atlanta

A quick recap of the second Ignite Atlanta:

To get the negatives out of the way - we didn't get to see the Belugas and I didn't win the iPad.

Great job to Patrick Nickles and team for organizing, getting an awesome venue and a diverse speaker line up. The highlights (IMHO) include Matt Smith with his passionate and crazy Hackintoshing presentation (I kind of want one), a happy septic tank success story and a reminder (as if one was needed) that jets - especially F-35's with $1 million prototype helmets for the pilots - are really cool.

I especially enjoyed Karen McKay's urban farming presentation. She uses clay pebbles and felt to grow a sweet salad in her apartment. Sounds like a good post-graduation project for me. Dr. J did a great job presenting the food matchmaking service of Usable Health. We are working with Usable Health at GTRI and they are planning a beta release in the next week or two among the Georgia Tech community.

I would also give a "Like" button to Buzzy for needle pain relief, the super powers of babies (Did you know that if your baby needs to be warmer or cooler, mom's body temperature will rise or fall as needed when skin-to-skin with the baby?!), and MobileZen for text message sharing of contact info.

I think it would be fun for me and Phil to tag-team present on something clever...and it certainly won't be a pitch for something! Any ideas?

Oh - one other thing I wanted to add - I'm surprised that no one gave a presentation about bacon. It's SO trendy right now! Maybe that's what we can talk about next time...
