According to our Facebook feed, the top 5 books in the NYC Network are:
1. Harry Potter
2. Catcher in the Rye
3. The Great Gatsby
4. To Kill a Mockingbird
5. The Bible
This would be a lot less depressing it was actually a list of The Worst Evil the World Has Ever Seen; then the list would read:
1. Voldemort
2. Phonies
3. That green…
DiVA Fair NYC will put 10-20 mobile video art cargo containers in West Chelsea to showcase the work of digital artists.
The containers look like they fell off the back of a semi; the doors open at 12pm every day, March 25-30 and passerbys can pop in, dance, or stare at whatever ark of color and light scrolls inside.
The…
When Newark Mayor Cory Booker unveiled his plans for the Community Eye urban surveillance system in Newark police director Garry MacCarthy said, “I kind of feel like a kid on Christmas morning.”
We are EXTREMELY wary of any proposal, plan, new technology, or new law that makes a police director feel like “a kid on Christmas morning.”
Mayor Booker’s plan calls for…
Sony’s Net Sharing Cam made for video blogging and Youtube should come out in September and retail for around $200.
The camcorder weighs 5 ounces with a 2.4 inch fold out screen and is made to hold up to 5 hours of web-ready footage on a default 2GB memory card, or you can take pics with the 5 Megapixel camera.

Blendtec’s viral video blender ads ask “Will it Blend?†They test their blenders against tiki torches, transformers, and now an iPhone.
You wouldn’t think it, but the blender literally reduces the iPhone to pile of smoking black dust.
Blendtec’s host on the videos, Tom Dickson, reminds us a bit of Dr. Mark Marmalard from the Stop SMC campaign leading up to…
We can’t help but notice the similarities between the advancing throngs on iDay and the good citizens in Apple’s 1984 Macintosh commercial lining up for indoctrination under the guise of being set free: “We are one will, one resolve, one cause.”
Not that there’s anything bad about buying iPhones to raise money for charity, but when we saw the crowd push into…
We were just down at the Soho Apple store to catch the last spasms before the igasm at 6pm.
Not really a pretty sight. Kind of like the Astrodome post Katrina: people living in boxes, religious fanatics preaching to bloggers, the sick, the infirm, the sunburnt, the charities videotaping the whole unholy ark.
The best part was the people coming…
The guy who tried to grab Newsweek’s Steven Levy’s iPhone this morning on Fox News is the first iDay casualty, as far as we know. Looks like the NYPD got him when he returned to the 5th Apple Store to get back in line. The saddest thing is that he looks like a Park Slope dad who has a wife with a…
Word round the campfire is 580 iPhones per Apple store. At 2 phones possible per person that means you want to be well inside the 200th person to be safe.
LVHRD just sent a man to the Soho Apple store to stake his claim. More as it develops.
Gridskipper has a map of the iPhone lines around the country, complete with handguides to survival and photos of the folks who are first in line. A baby takes the prize in Palo Alto.
Playboy calls iPhone fever a type of VD.
An iPhone caught in the wild leaves people breathless.
That reminds us. We used to have a little drawing…
This is a humanitarian post. Steve Jobs announced today at Apple’s town hall meeting that every employee, part and full-time, will get an iPhone. That’s over $12 million retail.
Pretty cool. And pretty cool for AT&T. You know not nearly all of those 17,787 employess are AT&T subscribers. Switch or be denied! (via engadget)
LVHRD member Mia Riddle, Johnny Vulcan, and a man named Giuliani have staked out the front of the line at the Soho Apple Store so they can get the first iPhone, ebay it, and give the money to Keep a Child Alive.
It won’t be just them, however.
“We’ve got lots of people coming for 3 or 4 hour shifts,
