The premise of last night's technology event Ignite Seattle was simple. Get into groups and spend a half an hour building bridges out of popsicle sticks, stand on them until they break, and then listen to a bunch of super short presentations. It worked. We learned so much about happenings in and around the Seattle tech world we feel like we leveled up like twenty times. Really, we had high expectations --enough so that we became a sponsor-- and those expectations were consistently exceeded: We thought it would be well-attended and it was packed. We thought the geeks would build a few popsicle-stick bridges that could withstand the weight of a team member and almost all of them did (although not the bridge that we helped with - sorry guys). Most importantly, we thought the presentations would be short enough to not get boring and they were universally exciting and full of ideas and we didn't want a single one of them to end so quickly.

It's an excessive amount of fries.
