Today when I got home after a night without a minute of sleep I was surprised with this awesome picture in my Virb mailbox. My friend Sonny drew it for me and it couldn't have been more appropriate than today because this picture pretty much shows me the past 24 hours. Yesterday and today the fourth EU Yahoo! Hack Day was held and to my astonishment my team was awarded the most awesome 'Best of Show' prize for our hack ^*. I'm stoked! An amazing result because there was some seriously stiff competition with high quality hacks all around.

Hack Day is one of those really great things that get organised at Yahoo. It's basically an innovation contest in which web developers and engineers compete in an attempt to come up with some nice innovation in the narrow timeframe of 24 hours. I think I worked about 22 out of 24 hours which is why I'm pretty damn tired now! But it was totally worth it. We kicked some major ass and grabbed the prize. Ian, Paul and Tamsin you all ROCKED! It was a true pleasure to work with such a kick ass hack team and without you all this would never have been possible.

I guess I'm gonna listen to some tunes on the shiny new iPod Nano I won until I'll probably sleep a large part of the Saturday away...

* As much as I'd like to I can't reveal or showcase our hack on my blog as the results of the hack day are internal to the company. However, read my previous post if you haven't yet. Maybe YOU will win the next one!

P.S: Check out Sonny's stuff! This guy has some badass talent! Thanks for the drawing man!
