This ruined church, due to its position in the middle of a henge, is a popular location for Pagan weddings but has also played host to some sinister satanic rituals in its time. On one occasion a friend and I found some grafitti in the form of curses on a board being used to hold up a pillar. Below it someone had written, "Here I stand amused and astounded, reading the prose of the confused and dumbfounded." Quite!

DATA IS THE INFRASTRUCTURE OF THE DIGITAL AGE.
And publicly available data can now illuminate solutions to challenges like no other time in our history. There is no single entity that collects and manages more data than government. Unfortunately, many of the systems and processes that collect this data have not kept up with the demand and the potential for it.
The world-wide Open Data movement asks government entities of all sizes to make their data—a public asset—available to developers and entrepreneurs so its potential can be realized.
Go Code Colorado is taking a lead position in this movement.
The first and only statewide effort of its kind, Go Code Colorado brings together a community of entrepreneurs, business partners, and developers to make use of public data through a series of events. These events center around a challenge weekend in five cities across the state, engaging the entire state in two days of innovation around the use of public data. Teams in each of the five cities compete to build apps that use public data to help businesses make smarter decisions. Two teams from each city move on in the competition, getting help from a network of mentors—including a mentorship weekend in Boulder—as they further develop their ideas. The teams come back together again for a final event where they pitch their ideas to judges.
The three teams deemed the best are awarded a contract with the state—an invaluable first customer to a fledgling business that provides critical initial revenue.
Go Code Colorado is an initiative through the Colorado Secretary of State’s Office, which seeks to return value to Colorado businesses from business registration fees they collect. In its inaugural year, this is the value Go Code Colorado returned to our state:
COMMUNITY BUILDING AND CIVIC ENGAGEMENT
Go Code Colorado increased civic engagement in the business, entrepreneurial, and tech communities.
Business leaders volunteered their time across the event series because they desire more access to government data—they know how important this is.
Dozens of business leaders volunteered a day with Go Code Colorado organizers to define the problems they face that public data can help solve.
179 people attended the Kickoff event.
130 people and 25 teams competed in the challenge weekend across Colorado (Boulder, Denver, Ft. Collins, Colorado Springs, and Durango).
The Mentor Weekend brought together 23 mentors to meet with ten teams.
The Final event attracted 223 people.
29 businesses supported open data and Go Code Colorado through $75,000 in cash donations and $120,000 worth of in-kind donations.
Companies like Google, Esri, SendGrid, Rally Software and Gnip (now Twitter)
TECH AND BUSINESS INNOVATION
Go Code Colorado is the most concerted effort in the state to increase the volume of public data in the state’s central repository.
33 new data sets were published as a result of last year’s efforts by agencies such as Revenue, Local Affairs, and Higher Education.
At least three businesses were created around three apps that use this data.
For instance, the winning team, Beagle Score created an app that helps provide a scorecard for business site-location decisions.
Beagle Score relies on many public data sets, including:
Business Registration dataset
City Taxes
County Taxes
Crime Statistics
NREL energy statistics
Traffic counts
Nearest Intersection
Energy rates and providers
Broadband service
and more
PROCUREMENT INNOVATION
Go Code Colorado is flipping traditional government procurement on its head, creating value to Colorado businesses and society.
According to the Standish Group, 94% of large federal IT projects over the past ten years were unsuccessful. Over 50% were delayed, over budget, or didn’t meet user expectations, and 41% failed completely.
Go Code Colorado challenges developers and entrepreneurs to solve business problems using public data by awarding companies who create working apps, not those with just a promise to do so.
GOVERNMENT EFFICIENCY AND TRANSPARENCY
Go Code Colorado imagines a day when pulling a data report is a matter of a few pop up menu selections, and doesn’t require specialized knowledge, when data managers across government are able to focus on the work they do best and anyone can access the public data they collect and curate.
This is the promise of open data, and the step forward taking place with Go Code Colorado.

Like most horns in the animal kingdom, these are used in jousting for positions controlling the females, thus ensuring that the fittest males pass their genes on. It amazes me that they they can survive the impact, as these rams' horns collide in full tilt charges.
Sandal Castle stands in a commanding position, to the south of Wakefield city centre, overlooking the River Calder.
The castle is best known for the famous Battle of Wakefield which was fought nearby in 1460 during the Wars of the Roses in which Richard, Duke of York was killed.
Remains of the 13th century stone castle and the fine motte bailey can been seen on site. Steps lead to the top of the motte where visitors are treated to superb views of the Calder Valley.
A modern visitor centre features family-friendly hands-on displays about the history of Sandal Castle and its owners.
During the English Civil War in the 1640s Sandal Castle was besieged twice by Parliamentary forces. Afterwards it was stripped of its defences.

The Battle of Wakefield
Early in 1460, during the Wars of the Roses, Richard Plantagenet made a bid for the throne. He was initially not well-received, but an Act of Accord made in October 1460 recognised him as heir to the throne and named him Protector of the Realm. In December Richard went to Sandal Castle, either to consolidate his position or to counter Lancastrian dissent. He had an army of 3,000-8,000 men but on December 30 in the Battle of Wakefield, he was outnumbered and outmaneuvered by Queen Margaret's army, coming from nearby Pontefract. Richard suffered a crushing defeat and both he and his younger son Edmund, Earl of Rutland were killed. Their heads were placed on spikes on Micklegate Bar, York)
The castle's last brush with royalty came in 1483 when Richard's eighth son (and twelfth child) Richard III chose it as a northern base and ordered some significant investments. This hope was short lived however as Richard was killed in the Battle of Bosworth in 1485. After this the castle was maintained a little, but gradually declined, with the building of Wakefield Prison in the 1590s leaving it even less useful.

Four hours into my series of flights to San Francisco
I realized I could mute the crazy light display of the
little TV screen at my seat by dialing the brightness
all the way down.
There's no actual off switch, because who *wouldn't*
want a tiny TV screen at their seat?
Me. I do not want a TV screen at my seat. Not one that
requires I swipe my credit card before I receive any
programming of merit. Not one that cycles through the
same endless series of promos on the unpaid plan. Not
one that competes with the Cory Doctorow's Content for
my attention, a book that ironically is all about the lure
and power of the screen. (I found if I held the book just
right I could block the flickering lights.)
These little screens must be working the way advertisers
want them to because they're propagating in all the
semi-anonymous public spaces where I used to think my
own thoughts. In the backs of NYC cabs. In elevators. At
the checkout of my local grocery store.
Their default position is always on and loud and
cheerleader cheery.
Enough.
I do not want them in my cab.
I do not want them near my Tab [1].
I will not watch them in a box.
I will not watch them playing Fox.
[1] Okay: that's a lie. I don't drink Tab so I don't buy it.
But I needed a grocery item that rhymes with "cab". Any ideas? Happy to
swap in a substitution.
