Photo Hack Day 2, A Image-Centric Hackathon in New York City

The original Photo Hack Day was the first image-centric hackathon that brought together the brightest minds in photography, photo-editing, web design, computer science, and more. In 24 hours, over 200 developers put together an impressive 43 hacks with APIs contributed from 25 companies — a full day display of burgeoning talent in the New York City tech community.

Six months later, we’re back with another open call to developers and designers. On February 25-26, 2012, Aviary is throwing Photo Hack Day 2 with our partners at General Assembly, and we want all of you to come.

Two women share historic kiss at US Navy ship’s return

For the first time since the repeal of ‘don’t ask, don’t tell,’ a same sex couple takes part in a traditional public embrace.

President Obama signed the repeal of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” into law one year ago today.

Progress.

iOS settings shortcuts

Finally. Thanks Jeff Broderick! Just point your iOS browser here.

UI designer Jeff Broderick has put together a dashboard of frequently-used settings icons and has used URL scheming in order to allow the “installed” apps to act as widgets for those deeply-nested settings.

Jay Parkinson + MD + MPH = a doctor in NYC: Introducing my new company, Sherpaa.

We live in the future.

jayparkinsonmd:

So for the past month I’ve been laying all the groundwork for my next company. It’s called Sherpaa. The branding and the site are coming together nicely and the legal side of things is too.

…

Just to reiterate, a person with acute appendicitis had his appendix removed by an amazing surgeon in a beautiful spa-like experience and never stepped foot in an ER or a hospital, and the bill was $63,000 less than going the traditional ER/Hospital route.

Everybody won in the situation:

The patient had an unbelievable experience.

Dr. X made much more than the traditional route.

The insurance company/self-insured employer saved $63,000.

Me. I helped a friend get better.

The only entity that lost was the ridiculously high overhead, traditional hospital that can’t/won’t get their head out of their asses to offer up patients a great experience.
