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.
Imagine this scenario: you're just settling down for a nice champagne (or mimosa) brunch at an outdoor cafe on the Upper West Side and you put your bag down - just for an instant - on the chair next to you. Unfortunately, the "chair next to you" also happened to be facing the street and a thief has been keeping a wary eye on that very seat for the past 30 minutes. Faster than you can say, "Waiter, check please," the thief has snatched and grabbed your bag, and you're left looking like a fool. Here's a way to prevent that type of scenario: BoingBoing (via Flickr) has a picture of a chair at MOMA that "keeps your bag safe."
