Buildycrunken #1: Hocus Focus
by Ryan Bright on November 5th, 2009 at 16:54 in Community
Just as Newton and Leibniz contributed separately to the development of differential and integral calculus, the brilliant minds at Collexion began planning their first Jelly not long before I addressed the need for one in my recent article. Buildycrunken will cater to software developers, writers, artists, students, and anyone else that desires to spend his or her late nights surrounded by creative, entertaining individuals. The first event will start at 9:00pm on November 6 and last until 9:00am the following morning, posing a challenge to those passionate about their work to gauge the limits of that passion with sleep deprivation and unhealthy quantities of caffeine. For those interested in attending, the madness will begin at Third Street Stuff at 9:00pm on November 6. I hope to see you there!

I’d Like Some Jelly with my Coworking
by Ryan Bright on October 30th, 2009 at 22:51 in Community
Since I started working at Awesome Inc. in June, I've fallen in love with the concept of creative individuals coming together within a single coworking space to share ideas and collaborate on projects. Our particular environment contains a coworking space, art studio, engineering workshop, and dance studio, and each component provides a unique contribution to the space's creative vibe.

As a software developer, I often find that it’s easy to become immersed in my current projects without ever stopping to sharpen the tools in my developer’s toolbox, and learning to approach problems through a variety of methods is a valuable skill in developing elegant, efficient solutions.
The Fun Theory

The innovative engineers of Volkswagen recently launched a project designed to tackle societal issues by developing entertaining products that alter human behavior. The Fun Theory has already developed approaches for countering the issues of obesity, waste disposal, and glass recycling, and I'm eagerly anticipating their next product release. Furthermore, I'd love to see some similar projects pop up here in Lexington!
TechStars 2009 Recap
by Ryan Bright on August 16th, 2009 at 22:01
As fate would have it, I’ve found myself without quality air conditioning on a day when such an amenity is quite necessary. Gazing around the coffee house currently sheltering me from heat-induced migraines and an endless battle with perspiration, I’ve become quite fascinated with each of the faces illuminated by laptop screens and smart phones. Essentially the entire customer base is bridged to the outside world by a technological medium, and each of us is vigorously using our respective bridge for some unique (or not so unique) purpose. While some may consider this accessibility a plague to humanity, those of us that cradle our electronic devices like newborn children have learned to appreciate the possibilities presented by the rapid advancements in technology seen throughout recent years. In order to keep the innovation flowing, it’s imperative that brilliant, new ideas be nurtured and given the opportunity to flourish. Last week, the Awesome Inc. team traveled to Boulder, Colorado to learn more about an organization that is doing just that.
