what is gangplank? and how do we collaborate?

As a result of Startup Weekend Phoenix, the nerds at Brice Cheddarn have been even more motivated than usual. And a lot of that has to do with meeting a lot of cool people with goals and skills like ours. For awhile, we were starting to think the PHX tech market was as dry as the weather.

startup weekend phoenix - from a nerd's perspective

Finally, something cool for us nerds came to Phoenix. On October 17-19, 2008, Startup Weekend came to town. For those of you who don't know, Startup Weekend is an intense event bringing like-minded tech professionals together to create companies, projects and communities. It blends developers and entrepreneurs together. Roughly 100 people gathered at Gangplank in Chandler to pitch ideas, form teams and get down to business developing products. Oh ya, this is done in 54 hours.

Ideas ranged from healthcare applications, web apps for kids to find science projects, and apps to match human personalities to dogs.
