"Aww yeah. So one of my co-founders Craig Cannon came up with the idea two years ago. We were just noodling around with what Cultivated Wit could be and were leaving The Onion (he was a graphics editor there). He had run the satire publication at NYU and was increasingly involved in coding and developer stuff so proposed this event where awkward devs and awkward comedians could make beautifully awkward apps together. We did the first one in NYC with the immense help of Jon Gottfried (formerly of Twilio; now of Major League Hacks). Some of my fave projects: My Real Puppy (simulated caretaking of a puppy), Wearable Furby (with a custom API to boot), Timesify (makes trashy websites look like NYT), iCare (you give it an issue; it cares about it for you), XcuseMe (routes you to appointments through delays so you can justify your lateness), Lobbyists From Last Night (lets you taunt your congresshuman about their time spent fundraising) more at http://comedyhackday.org" - @baratunde
