+
+There's a lot of love at Viget South for our adopted hometown of Durham,
+NC. A few of us decided to use the first [Pointless
+Weekend](https://viget.com/flourish/pointless-weekend-3-new-pointless-projects) to
+build a tiny application to highlight some of Durham's finer points and,
+48 hours later, launched [I Dig Durham](http://idigdurham.com/). Simply
+tweet to [\@idigdurham](https://twitter.com/idigdurham) (or include the
+hashtag [#idigdurham](https://twitter.com/search?q=%23idigdurham)) or
+post a photo to Flickr
+tagged [idigdurham](http://www.flickr.com/photos/tags/idigdurham) and
+we'll pull it into the site. What's more, you can order
+a [t-shirt](https://idigdurham.spreadshirt.com/) with the logo on it,
+with all proceeds going to [Urban Ministries of
+Durham](http://www.umdurham.org/).
+
+As [Rails Rumble](http://railsrumble.com/) (and [Node
+Knockout](http://nodeknockout.com/)) veterans, we knew that there's
+basically no such thing as too simple a product for these competitions
+--- no matter how little you think you have to do, you're always
+sweating bullets with half an hour left to go. With that in mind, we
+kept I Dig Durham as simple as possible, leaving us plenty of time to
+really polish the site.
+
+Though basically feature complete, we've got a few tweaks we plan to
+make to the site, and we'd like to expand the underlying app to support
+I Dig sites for more of our favorite cities, but it\'s a good start from
+[North Carolina\'s top digital
+agency](https://www.viget.com/durham)\...though we may be biased.
