  "Bacon" (chunky or otherwise).

Hehe, having just been at DjangoCon it's funny to see where we have overlap: * BDD (a single lightning talk) * NoSQL (a panel) * Bacon (served with breakfast on one day) * Web-scale (never said, per-se, but there were a few talks on scaling)

Ok, I need to make a web app to generate these so we can actually play!

  Sounds like a great business idea. Looks like someone already registered bingocardcreator.com, though.

    Maybe not for business, but having a site that does get updated during talks could be pretty popular on such hacker events (and thus be good advertising for you)

  You want one? [Edit: Took me half an hour. In my defense, it is Saturday morning and I was chatting with a friend at the time. http://www.bingocardcreator.com/articles/ruby-buzzword-bingo http://www.bingocardcreator.com/articles/ruby-buzzword-bingo ]

  I'm starting to build one right now. I'm actually procrastinating on another project.

Did you use Patrick's Bingo Card Creator for this?
- mikelikespie 16y ago
  Nah, just inkscape.

As it turns out, this is a silly Bingo card because either everyone will lose or everyone will win at the same time, assuming that everyone pays attention more or less equally. What you needed to do was take those terms (and maybe some more), put them as images, scramble them each time the page refreshes, so the cards are all different.

  You could do that as an Web-scale HTML5 app with a RESTful API using a NoSQL DB and an awesome MVC DSL, assuming you're doing this all BDD (using Bacaon, of course) and have some ninja Ruby skills. But I'm betting YAGNI.

Missing: Awesome, epic, TextMate (or just 'mate'), Sinatra.
