We made this plan back in February and being outside-the-box thinkers, we wanted everyone to know we were there. So I thought that we should have some sweet name tags. The idea was pitched and then the rest became a blur. We ended up constructing possibly the best name tag ever.
(Early-ish prototype images, find me on the floor for the final product!)
In the spirit of "live" for gdgt live, we wanted something that updates live throughout the event. This means RP, number of followers, along with other statistics are all constantly changing.
You will be able to scan the QR code on the name tag to follow me and see the numbers update instantly*. However don't let that stop you from following me/us prior to the event. I have some pretty cool ideas and posts!
This hasn't been field tested. We have no idea how much it will cost us to run (data costs), how long the battery life is, and how cell reception is in the convention centre. That being said, we are pretty excited about this. (Assuming we can get in, the post here worried us a bit: gdgt.com/discuss/message-to-attendees-of-gdgt-live...)
I realize the gdgt staff are going to be extremely busy, but we love the community and would love to meet Ryan, Peter, and the rest of the staff and users on the show floor. So feel free to stop us and say hi :)

*This depends on the AT&T network reception of course (which we are hoping is somewhat reliable. We hear horror stories up in Canada about them).
