My recent concept died and I want to move on. I am kind of looking for some new ideas for me to work on and I am definitely open to suggestions as to how I could absorb some brand new ideas that are interesting to solve.

I live in Canada but I am willing to travel to the US after my finals and hopefully I want to attend some hackathon event during this christmas holiday (after 22nd) to meet some cool hackers...

Can anyone recommend me some events that I can attend?

I don't know of any organized events going on, but if you want to come to North Carolina, gimme a shout. I'm off work from about 7 hours ago, until January 4th, 2011. I intend to spend basically the entire time (barring a trip to the coast to visit my family for about 2 days) hacking away on my projects and consuming potentially dangerous quantities of caffeine. :-)

Thanks for the offer. I am afraid NC is a bit far for me. I was thinking somewhere around NY to be the furthest.

Anyway we should discuss some great ideas together sometime. Do you do IRC?

Yeah, I hang out on #startups on Freenode with the other gomers from here. :-) I'm usually on as 'mindcrime' there.
