Interesting week...
Out and about for the week, I was able to attend the IoT Roadshow at the Impact Hub in Manhattan and spent quite a few hours helping some hackers get it done with our Intel Edison.
Then a quick trip across the country to San Francisco for IoT World at Moscone West, wherein we all spoke a lot about this Internet of Things that seems to be a big giant unknown. Samsung was next door to the Intel booth with their new Artik products, and the $9 Kickstarter Computer is definitely generating some buzz.
Then to Maker Faire Bay Area for the weekend, where I had many opportunities to interact with kids of all ages and adults of even more ages. Some shy away from the crowds at Maker Faire, but I actually enjoy getting to meet people who haven’t yet jumped in to the hacking side, who are still looking in from the outside so to speak. Maybe the Intel name will help them take the plunge into waters that might seem familiar?
On to a Kickstarter Hackathon in Brooklyn on 23 and 24 May, maybe I’ll see you there...
