Hacked
We were on lock down here at Poke while all chaos ensued during hack day. Enter 24 hours of sweat, tears and custard pies.
Here’s a round up of the creations:
The Holy Sandwich www.theholysandwich.com: A never-ending stack of user-generated sandwiches.
Egg Watchers www.eggwatchers.com : An egg timer that sources decent YouTube videos of exactly the right length you need to cook your egg. (Notice, reader, how we steered away from the “eggactly” pun. It wasn’t easy.)
That’s a Cappuccino www.thatsacappuccino.com: Campaigning to make Britain’s coffee better with a nice, simple thumbs up or down.
Tracka2 www.tracka2.com: A high-fibre cereal bar with a GPS tracking device buried in it, so you can track your “load”. Delightful.
Al Pieda www.al-pieda.com: A Saw-style ‘death mask’ that releases a custard pie on the face of the wearer on the receipt of one million clicks on the Al Pieda website.
TasteBuddi www.tastebuddi.es: Randomly generated sweet and savoury food combinations for the more adventurous palate.
The Holy Sandwich took the judges prize, winning a five-course meal at the Chef’s table at Corrigan’s. The second prize winners, with the largest volume of traffic, will be announced in March.
Big thanks to Russell Davies, Nic Howell and Yotam Ottolenghi, the discerning judges who gave up their afternoons to be pitched bizarre ideas by sleep-deprived, over excited Pokers.
