Best Magic of UK Hack Day? I disappeared!

Matt offers a great post on the “magic” of Yahoo’s Hack Days… I had the pleasure of attending the most recent Open Hack Day in London…

For me the most magical thing about it was my utter lack of involvement. I did not help organize, coordinate, oversee, judge, etc. I went strictly as a spectator… It’s so cool when an idea takes on a life of its own… The team did an amazing job, perfectly capturing the spirit of the program (but with an appropriate and unique EU flavor…)

Reminds me: Tom Coates mentioned recently that he got a kick out of seeing the name Fire Eagle starting to do the rounds… It was the silliest name he could come up with. I like it.
