very blog. Like broccoli, tech demos are good for you. But kids don’t line up for broccoli—just like the

So how do we get more free, amazing tech goodness to more people? Well, as you’ll see, there’s nothing we
won’t try.

Introducing Demo Slam, a place where boring tech demos become (hopefully) gotta-show-my-friends

Beginning today, you can watch Preseason Slams and declare a Champ of the week. Then each week, new
featured slamswill vie for your attention and a shot at demo glory. Think you can create a Slam-worthy
demo? Choose a bit of tech you love and show the world what you can do.

Let’s get the people who would never watch a tech demo—the people who ironically need them most (hi
