Saturday morning I'm still looking for a group to join at StarupWeekend 
Toronto. In the lunch lineup, right behind me, is someone from a small 
group looking for a developer. So I'm in.

They already have a landing page on a server, but I need to build a 
prototype that queries a URL for a JSON response, and display the 
result. We'll have to figure out how to tie it together for a demo.

Since I've got a free hand, I used a Pier CMS, and loaded JSON from 
SqueakSource. Then a wrote a PRWidget to get the JSON data, parse, and 
display. Still some clean up, CSS, and deployment to do.

You can follow along at #swtoronto and somewhere on Facebook and Twitter 
is the "GettingGives" stuff -- no links, sorry I'm not a Facebooker or 
Twitterer (yet?), and I forgot to ask the business crew earlier.
