About this weblog

Here we'll report daily on the latest tech and business developments in New York City. Impossible we concede: comprehensive coverage of the city's every story. What we hope you'll find: tips, tidbits and perspectives you won't find elsewhere. As well as unique insights, original interviews and more that should be of interest to New York's vibrant community of technologists and those who track, invest in and report on them.

Gentlemen, start your engines!

Posted by Dominic Basulto

NASCAR has been invading New York this week, and on December 2, representatives from Nextel Communications and NASCAR will join the 10 drivers who competed in the chase for the NASCAR NEXTEL Cup to open the day of trading on NASDAQ. Oh, and The Donald will be on hand to wave the green flag before "the show cars of the top 10 drivers roar down Broadway, turn left on 42nd Street and finally take a checkered flag at NASCAR's New York office on 52nd Street and Park Avenue." For one day, at least, all New Yorkers will be NASCAR dads.
