McHacks, My First Canadian Hackathon

The Trip

11:17 am, Friday: Packing and getting pumped to get on the 12-hour bus ride through the night. Pro-tip: Always prepare for the bus not to have internet and power. That means your computer(s), phone, and power pack (I like this one: PowerGen 8400mAh) needs to be fully charged. Also, I also usually bring my phone as a wireless hotspot, but it will cost a fortune in Canada. For this event, I am planning on using a Mashery API to make a fun website (mostly for entertainment value). I have a backup project as well, but we’ll see how that works…
