\nLast weekend I participated in a hack-a-thon event called Tech Raising<\/a> in Santa Cruz. The idea is to make a 90 second pitch on an idea Friday night, and teams form to build a minimally viable demo by Sunday night. In my case, I was lucky enough to form a team from the fall 2010 session of Santa Cruz App Dev<\/a>. Todd Schafer<\/a>,\u00a0a graphic designer who created the Santa Cruz Telecom<\/a> logo, joined our team\u00a0at the event. This is an amazing group of people. I knew we would work well together, but we had never had to meet a deadline like this before.<\/p>\n

What did we build you ask? OttoBrew, a fully computerized small scale micro brewery. With no knowledge of beer brewing, and little direction, my team build an awesome web 2.0 interface to our brewery. We didn’t actually build a whole brewery, just the web interface, and a mockup fashioned from wood, deck screws, and duct tape. My job was to provide the spec, the background on brewing, and to build out the data acquisition and control system.<\/p>\n

While I had no doubt we could build a worth while demo, my team exceeded my expectations. The crowd and the panel seemed to be impressed with what we accomplished.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
