  • You are a born presenter and stand-up comedian! ;-) Did you send this to Seinfeld already? Maybe not because he would be so scared of such competition. ;-) But seriously: I loved it!

  • Y is it hack day? that had nothing 2 do with hacking all that was going on was code based so it should of been named like code day. Also ur pretty skilled to know how to code, which style were u using, java, script, html?

    uchihasasukefire 4 years ago

  • The term "hacking" has changed to mean to do something interesting with anything technical. What I presented was written in actionscript and flash. There was a lot more code written that had to be chopped out when my team mates decided to ditch.

    wavewash 4 years ago

  • Actually, the terms haven't ever changed meaning.

    "Hacker" always did mean "someone who codes off-the-cuff by intuition" (e.g. the coder gradually hacks away at the problem, as a lumberjack hacks away at a tree with his axe).

    While "cracker" - in the same way that a code breaker "cracks" a code or a bank robber "cracks" a safe - always was the term for "someone who breaks into computer system / software protections".

    KlaxonCow 4 years ago

  • But the popular media confused the terms and has been misreporting "crackers" as "hackers" ever since. They even made a movie with the wrong title (it should have been called "Crackers", not "Hackers").

    Fair play to Yahoo, though, they've used the correct terminology here (even though there was a slight possibly it could be misconstrued by the popular media, as to what was really going on there).

    For a better appreciation of coder slang, Google for "the Jargon File". :D

    KlaxonCow 4 years ago

  • The got a lot of press calling it "hack day". All the news stations started their story with something like "Usually as a software company you don't want hackers"... heh. Chad Dickerson was seen on the news explaining the meaning of the word to reporters.

    wavewash 4 years ago

  • That was great well done

  • Saw you on peir 39 and then looked you up and played this for the first time and it was funny, not just once, but it was funny with a group, and it was informative about an event no person would know about in New Zealand with out youtube. Are you going to cover the 2008 elections and look into the character of the candidates please.

    RoddyYoung 5 years ago

  • Ahh, the peir 39 meet up was so much fun.

    Haha, Oooo Politics. I would but I get so angry at Politics around here. I'd end up just bashing them instead of being informative. *laugh* Actually that sounds like fun I might try it.

    Your comment made me smile! Thank you!

    lisasimpson 5 years ago

  • Yeap, that's me. If you go to the CompSci dept at Eastern they all know me. I used to pull pranks all the time on campus.

    wavewash 5 years ago

  • Very Nice...(high five!)

    eternalvibe 5 years ago

  • I was checking some other videos from Yahoo! Hack Day 2006. You forgot to mention that you won the award for best shtick, "best standup comedian". *And* the award for worst hack. Haha! ;)

  • Did I hear a speaker say "that was a stunningly good performance" at the end? Because it surely was! I watched it four times because your comic timing was so perfect and engrossing! Are you a comic? If not, look into that. ;)

    pulseforce 5 years ago

  • Hahah, no he said "Stunning peice of technology" and he was being facetious. That was the first time I stood in front of a crowd and did anything like that.Thanks for the kind comment.

    wavewash 5 years ago

  • Hahah, I can't believe that I had a reply *four* minutes after posting! That's a weird coincidence. So that's the first time you're in front of a crowd? You're a natural talent, and if you have the least bit of interest in becoming a comic let me just say that judging by my opinion and all the others that have posted, you can go very far. Just stick to the style you had at this performance. Of course, that's if you try it out. :)

    pulseforce 5 years ago

  • Mo, that was absoluely hilarious. That was just what I needed to see while breaking from programming an atMEGA169 to control the speed of a motor for my Microprocessors class.

    Afrotronics 5 years ago

  • *laugh* Excellent man. I'm glad I got to see you that day I was back on campus.

    wavewash 5 years ago

  • Holy crap, that was hilarious. You totally should have won.

    jcgamer107 5 years ago

  • *laugh* That would've been glorious. Instead some girls that created a bag with a camera in it won.

    wavewash 5 years ago

  • What?? Lame. I mean, c'mon, you had Patrick Stewart...and you were making him talk! That's easily worth a free TV.

    jcgamer107 5 years ago

  • welldone. i love it when bravery benifits its bearer. may you benefit from fortune in all your endeavors hence forth.

    "thanks patrick stewart, make it so."

    k3ym4st3r 5 years ago

  • You're a WINNER. I'm dying, that was hysterical. And I highly approve of your music choice.

    ohtwicemyburn 5 years ago

  • that was good although I must admit I have no idea what Yahoo Hack Day is and perhaps it would have made a bit more sense if I did - still good though :)

    21stCenturyCat 5 years ago

  • It was explained a little in the first 30 seconds by the news clips. Basically Yahoo! called out 500 hackers to their campus to "hack" overnight and then show off their programs the next day. The "hacks" had to use Yahoo's API, so it was basically a way to get smart people to show the interesting stuff that is possible with Yahoo software. There's lots on google, search for Yahoo! Hackday and you should find some stuff. :)

    wavewash 5 years ago

  • and ironically as I went to look at your reply the video started to play again and this time, what they were saying in the 1st 30 seconds made a bit more sense - thx

    21stCenturyCat 5 years ago

  • My bad, didn't see that the question was already answered.

    speedrasta 5 years ago

  • The song is by The Faint. I think it's called "I Disappear"

    scottschiller 5 years ago

  • Highly entertaining - I regret that I had just stepped out to get a beer when your presentation started, but I hurried back in when I heard all the laughter and cheering. Nicely done!

    scottschiller 5 years ago
