And I made an App for that! LOL!

I Actually attended @PhotoHackNYC   put together by Aviary andI had such a ball  I’m I’ve signed up for the Video Hack and the  Foursquare Hackathon… you can  say  Hooked!

So what’s a hack

On August 20 to 21, developers met to  create awesome photo hacks using open APIs. At Stake A feature on the  Nasdaq billboard in Times Square! Honestly I did not  look at the  prizes... I  went to create something I needed..Ii left with a prize  (thanks to My  Hacking Partner Ronjit Kumar) … and I’m still stunned!

I knew the developers would be there so it  is the  perfect place to ask questions… and they were so patient!  ! So to the  guys from Aviary, Trove and Photobucket-  thanks  again!

my Fave-(really beacuse I actually  understood them LOL)

The Winner was “cool” but I have this thing about letting machines or “bots’ decide what’s Creative or “right”

I really liked Twillio’s Api I would never have taken a second look at them but anything that rings and connects the phone to images! HMMN!
