Giving stuff away

A couple of our guys, Jason and Chad, are going to the WWDC in SF next week. We’re going to have a table at the student fair where hopefully we’ll recruit the brightest Cocoa programmers on the planet. Anyhow, as if our software isn’t cool enough, we’ve actually gone to the trouble to create some nifty give aways. I’m still torn on whether they’re worth the money, but, as a recruiting expense, if we’re successful in recruiting even one kick ass candidate, the answer will be yes.

We got branded memory sticks from MemorySuppliers.com (red with our white iLovePhotos logo) and branded pens from 4imprint.com (ditto). So far so good. Hopefully the actual items are as cool as the pictures. I’ll post an update!

UPDATE: The memory sticks were awesome.  The pens never made it there on time and 4imprint customer service sucks.

The KCCN FM 100 Birthday Bash

I spent last weekend working with COX Radio on their huge Birthday Bash concert. The Birthday Bash is probably one of the largest “Jawaiian” (that’s Jamaican / Hawaiian) music concerts in Hawaii with about 20,000 people showing up. We set up a 12 foot jumbotron screen to let people in the audience send their cell phone photos in and get their 5 seconds of fame live during the concert. The Blue Lava team spent over 12 hours making sure everything went without a hitch and we had a great time (the free beer probably helped).

The music itself was awesome too. I’ve never been a huge island music fan, but after seeing all the bands play, I’ve developed a new found appreciation for the stuff. I might even learn how to dance to it one day.
