And the winner is ... Twoddler !

I didn't win any prizes today at the Inca award ceremony, but that's OK: the 10 finalists are all very fine projects and totally deserve the spotlight.
After much suspense in the final moments, the winner turned out to be Twoddler : an series of Arduino powered twittering Fisher Price toys to keep track of and communicate with your toddlers.
Of course, the combination of Twitter and Arduino is a proven recepy for succes :-)

My personal favorite, Hupskadee, won Silver, as did startcomputer, Tableau and Ikkanhet

Congratulations to all!

I'm very sure my own projects will incarnate in another form one day: the game engine behind Inca - the game will find a place as online emerald mine engine, to play the gazzilion of levels made in the 80's and early 90's at emeraldmines.net.
The technology behind Lopend Vuur has found it's place in a bigger backend framework and turned out to be commercially interesting.
Wamm.be will stay at wamm.be. I'm sure this idea will get picked up sooner or later.

The inca-ceremony was hosted at the iminds event.
iminds was OK, but I kind of expected a bit more: it felt a bit like one giant IBBT commercial - which is understandable and perfectly fine as they organised (and paid for) everything. The interaction with the enterpreneur-centered  audience and the (sometimes) politic speakers was euhm ... interesting by moments :-)
Anyway, it was nice to meet new and old contacts, saw lots of  interesting projects and .... got inspired.

Kudos again to the Inca-team for a very wonderful initiative.
I hope they come up with a second run in some form in the future.
