Visual Serendipity. No Gas.
Two weeks after Hurricane Sandy hit New York (and other States), the gasoline shortage continues. New York City and Long Island began gas rationing a few days ago, something not seen since 1970s.
Here’s an interesting article from Forbes about “the truth behind the epic gas lines.“
And here’s another one from the New York Times.

It doesn’t get more serendipitous than this. After Hurricane Sandy passed through Brooklyn leaving behind floods, fires, and a long trail of destruction, this was the first image I saw when I woke up. I had several cameras handy planning (unsuccessfully) to document the hurricane from our window. Two images later, the clouds covered the rainbow and it was gone!

Putting us on the map.
We are proud to announce that Eduardo Angel LLC is now on a digital map called, Made in New York, a great resource developed by Mayor Michael Bloomberg for tech companies, investors, developers and designers. Featuring more than 500 local companies across the city’s five boroughs, including 325 that are presently hiring, the projects’s goal is to interactively show what is happening in the technology industry throughout the five boroughs.

“We expect this map to be another tool that helps propel our tech industry forward,” Bloomberg said . “The growth of the tech industry in New York City has been a critical part of weathering the nation’s economic downturn, far better than the rest of the country.” Since the map plots companies by location, job seekers can explore their desired neighborhoods, making this a fantastic resource for anyone who lives or is moving to New York City to find jobs in the technology sector. The map can be also be sorted by digital companies, investors, and co-working and incubator spaces.
“Creative people want to be around other people and creativity is driving the tech industry,” Bloomberg said. “We are making concentrated efforts to support entrepreneurs and startups.”
Additionally, Mayor Bloomberg, the Department of Small Business Services and NYC Digital, along With Google, Mashable and Tumblr have introduced a New Technology Toolkit to Help Small Local Businesses Launch and Grow Online. We believe that these new resources are increasing the visibility, as well as competitiveness for new companies to stay on top. We welcome new challenges.
Is this map a valuable tool for you? What else can New York do to advertise its rising tech industry? As always, share your thoughts with us below.

Something I truly love about New York is that it is a “pedestrian friendly” city. Not only it is much faster (and cheaper) to walk somewhere instead of taking a train or a cab, it is also a good exercise. Keep walking.

After spending a very hot and humid Sunday afternoon in Central Park we were looking for a restroom, and this is what we found instead. Gotta love this city.
