Last night I attended the awards party for Access Innovation Prize, not knowing what to expect. The prize is for people and organizations using <a href="https://www.accessnow.org/blog/2012/12/11/first-annual-access-innovation-awards-prize-winners-announced">"information technology to promote and enable human rights and deliver social good"</a>. It turns out, geeks on a mission know how to do good and have a good time!

My, that disc is shiny.

LEAP was a finalist in the "Making Crypto Easy" category, but the competition was impressive and deserving. I nearly popped a blood vessel when I heard LEAP called as the winner! Big thanks to <a href="https://www.accessnow.org">Access</a> and all the techies and innovators they assembled. It was an excellent party, and a stellar collection of dedicated technologists. On behalf of LEAP, I am humbled and extremely thankful for this prize. Now we get down to putting the prize money to work...
