    • Acre sneak preview

      Will Moffat, Freebase hacker at large, presents a sneak preview of "Acre", Freebase's new server-side Javascript development platform. Apologies for the lighting; some of the stuff on the overhead projector, especially code samples, are unreadable but I think Will provides enough context as he speaks to give you the general idea.
