Okay, so if you read my last post, you know I lied, but I forgot about AIR. Yesterday, we had the kickoff party for this year’s AIR Houston. AIR is a competition, started in Austin, that pairs teams from the area against each other in a quest to develop a 100% accessible site for non-profits.

Before the actual Rally day, you’re allowed to meet with your NPO (Non-Profit Organization), gather content, and create a design. Then, on Rally day, you spend 8 hours developing all the code for the site. This will be my first year participating in the event, but from what I hear, it’s a very intense day.

This year is unique in that a regional competition has been added. The winners from the three participating cities (Austin, Houston, and San Antonio) will go on to compete against each other.

Something else on my plate is exactly what I need right now, but I believe it will be a very worthwhile experience, and it’s also a chance to do some good, by giving a non-profit a strong, accessible presence on the web. Course, I’m not entirely enthused with the fact that Rally day falls within days of TipDish’s scheduled launch. That ought to be one killer weekend.

With that, I’m really done for the night.
