"I have to say that I'm pretty blown away by how much bigger the total $ raised was this year, especially when you exclude the HP contribution... And your note about increasing the # of participants is interesting, too...it seems like the Meetup incentive really drove that metric. Really cool idea for layering more game dynamics on top of the Challenge. Next year we should do something wacky with the DChoose API + the SMC! We'll have to have a brainstorm on that one ;-)"

"In photography, like in fishing, there are things you can do to improve your odds, such as going out day after day before sunrise to the same spot until something wonderful happens. This is a form of technique, upping the odds. True serendipity is when something batshit crazy just comes out of nowhere when you are not looking for it at all. The skill is to be able to recognize it when it appears. "There is a crack in everything That's how the light gets in. " Anthem Leonard Cohen"
