Interview with Cody Koeninger, Lift developer from Austin, TX
Sunday, February 21st, 2010
We searched high and wide across the United States for the best-bearded developer in the land to make sure that we had some magic whiskers on staff to remind the development team, "Hey…Be a man about this. You can do it." Cody Koeninger was that man. Hear him talk about how you, too, might one day have a beard as luxurious as his.
Sponsor Shout-Out #6: Hapa Sushi
Sunday, February 21st, 2010
Hapa Sushi, home of the insanely good Spicy Tuna Nachos (I heard the have sushi, too), kicked in a gift certificate that we gave to developer Zach Kim, who said he couldn't have learned more about Scala Lift than coming to this session. Volunteering with SnapImpact: Good for the soul, good for the brain, and good for your taste buds. Thanks, Hapa!

Sponsor Shout-Out #5: Belvedere Belgian Chocolate Shop
Sunday, February 21st, 2010
Cori Chavez was the lucky winner of a Belvedere gift certificate from another one of our awesome local donors. If you're anywhere near downtown today and feel like venturing outside, one of Belvedere's crazy delicious chocolate treats will make it that much more worthwhile, especially when it involves putting on pants. They're open until 7:00pm today, so no need to rush out right now.

Sunday, February 21st, 2010
We've started handing out gifts to our helpers, and one of those that got a big reaction was a gift card donated by Illegal Pete's. Like many of us, I became a true devotee the moment I saw them mix the ingredients in my first IP burrito before they folded it up. For remaining on the forefront of burrito innovation, and for rewarding one of our incredible volunteers, Illegal Pete's, we salute you. Flickr photo credit: CKI2008
