hackNY 2011 at the June NYTM

This post is by Abe Stanway, a 2011 hackNY Fellow from Rutgers University.The powers that be scored us some super-awesome New York Tech Meetup tickets Tuesday night, and we were all too happy to take them up on the offer. We definitely appreciated the hackNY love coming from all corners in the Skirball Center (although I might add we got a bit too much love from the headhunters sitting behind us!)The meetup was a good time, though - we saw some pretty great demos, including my personal favorite, HowAboutWe, which lets users list potential dates for others to accept. Yes, I signed up, and no, I haven't been asked out yet.
After the meetup, we got burgers at Stand 4. Much meat was eaten, to the dismay of the nice fedora-ed waiter. Conversation topics included Evan's unusual path to an academic career, the role of mobile sharing in a location-based world, and exactly who ordered the peanut butter cup milkshake.
