Our brainstorming kicked off 9 am Saturday morning at the San Diego Airport. Two hours later in San Francisco we had scribbled out an iPhone app, app server and, a client where guest can watch the games.

At 1 pm we arrived at the TechCrunch Distupt Exhibition Center and got a table with the other 450 hackers. Most people came prepared for warfare; 30" monitors, chairs, sleeping bags, food, tablets, keyboards, and laptop stands. I was feeling under gunned and was just hoping I packed an extra pair of socks.

TechCrunch had engineers on site from Facebook, Twitter, CityGrid, and Mashery onsite to give API demos.
