#93This is incredible. I think a few things are worth noting: 1) these "terrible idea" hackathon projects were so much more _sexual_ than your typical hackathon. This goes with the indications that the sex-tech space is anathema more for market reasons (VCs want to stay family friendly) than because sex-tech isn't fun or interesting to people. With the chance of funding not on the table, a healthy mix of projects veered…

#94I wish I knew about this. I wrote a file server that serves your webroot directory over League of Legends chat. Any time you request a file that is more than a few bytes, your chat gets flooded with base64 strings... The extraslow web.
Heh, I once wrote a piece of software that would read World of Warcraft's memory space, scan for the chat circular buffer and then post new guild chat messages to twitter. At first my guild mates loved it - but then it created some guild internal drama as some "officers" were having a rather not nice chat about other guild members in the night and they thought they were alone. Pretty much destroyed my guild. But at l…
Out of curiosity, were you an officer? The idea that private officer chat might be sent to just any guild member's client is hilarious.

#95Any equivalent of this sort of a Hackathon in the SF Bay? If not, wanna organize one together? :)

#96How regularly is the Stupid Hackathon held? Fall and spring? Georgia Tech student here, I would seriously fly up to participate.
We're doing it once a year in NY. We don't have a mailing list but you can follow @stupidhackathon on Twitter for updates.

#97Earlier quoted context omitted.
For the uninitiated: 3D-printed sex toys actually do exist, yes. For example I believe the infamous Dragon Dildos are 3D-printed? (I shan't link, for self-explanatory reasons.)
The Bad Dragon sex toys I've handled aren't 3d printed. (You wouldn't expect them to be, since 3d printer output is rigid plastic, which you don't want a sex toy to be, and covered with fine ridges, which you really don't want a sex toy to be.) It's possible that the molds are 3d printed, but if they are, it's using a printer with amazing surface finish, and Bad Dragon's never said anything about using 3d printing. M…
I would also be concerned about the polymer used to print the toy. It would have to be hypo-allergenic & non-toxic for sure.

Oh man, this is gold. Seconded, I've gotta see a video.
I'm not really sure if it's within the rules of the game, so there will probably be no video, but I'll probably github the source soon. It's Node based, but some of the dependencies are a pain to set up.

If someone wants to do something like this in the SF Bay Area, I will happily help organize space at the Hacker Dojo in MV.
FAIR WARNING - we are a patented hackathon: http://www.stupidhackathon.com/hackathon-patent.pdf
