"hackathons" were lame once they got a name. They became lame because it wasn't exploring what interested you, pushing frontiers but had a define goal that wasn't yours. You have to fit into someone else's plan for the "hackathon", and what the outcomes would be.
How on earth is there anything "hackerish" if you're diligently fitting into someone else's plan? Lame.
