Scannerfly at DemoCampVancouver 05

I hadn’t really anticipated demonstrating my little side project when I attended DemoCampVancouver last week, but I had a demo ready and Boris needed more people to participate in the 30-second pitches, so I volunteered. Of course, no good deed goes unpunished, and I was chosen to give a six-minute presentation of the technology. Roland Tanglao captured my web-based barcode scanner demo, which I’ve embedded here for your viewing pleasure.

Update: Bruce Sharpe over at Singular Productions has posted a much more polished version of the video of my demo, embedded below for your viewing pleasure:

D-Wave: Canucks On a Roll

Looks like some hometown entrepreneurs are making waves with their quantum computer, and getting plenty of coverage to boot. Alas, I wasn’t able to score an invitation to the party at the Computer History Museum, but The Register covered it nicely (I especially like the quote “the management’s mix of enthusiasm and frank realism made the pitch all the more believable” – something uniquely Canadian).

Way to go guys!
