Timepedia @ Google Developer Day

We had a blast at Google Developer Day, especially meeting and hanging out with the Google Web Toolkit team. Google's organization of the event was excellent, and they are to be commended for staging a world wide event (free) for developers, providing ample (and good) food and snacks, as well as busing developers to the Google campus for an after hours party. We've been to freebie events before, and they haven't been this good.

At Dev Day, Timepedia launched a preview of one of our components: Chronoscope, which is our visualization platform for timeseries data written in GWT.

We got alot of positive feedback, and had fun hearing people try and guess what our t-shirts meant. Actually, we were surprised how many people got very close. Timepedia has been our personal hobby, our passion, for over two years, and we are both nervous and excited to finally reveal it to the public.

As we come closer and closer to launch time, we'll post developer notes, stumbling blocks, hurdles leaped, and give more information about some of the other pieces of Timepedia (such as codenames: Tardis, Timelord, Geisser, Everett, and Jarocki :) )
