My friend Alexandra gave me a call on Friday morning. She wanted to know if I’d be her partner for Dell’s Urban Challenge Scavenger Hunt the next day. First prize: a pimped-out laptop.
Well, of course!
Friday had been a pretty awesome day already, and with Harry Potter in my hands I ended up staying up until 5 am, got two hours of sleep and headed downtown with Alexandra to win a laptop!
Only about 20 teams showed up. When we arrived we were assigned one of 8 colors randomly and you only compete against other teams in your color. First of all, that meant we only had to beat two other green teams to win our laptops. And Alexandra realized that it would be a brilliant idea to talk to teams in other colors so we could work together to solve the clues. Good idea. In the end, all but one of the teams we worked with got their laptops.
I’m excited. Mine’s going to be yellow.

I have decided on ……….. the raspberry colored one. (I prefer to not call it pink) :)
