Though the Big Apple carries the American Dream in its heart, the staggering number of individuals who will never make that dream, is somewhat evident everywhere you go.
Since it was my first time in town since 9/11, a visit to WTC and "ground zero" was inevitable.
It is difficult not to get a feeling of trespassing when observing the fading pictures, dead flowers and a teddy bear dedicated to a mother or father lost, attached to the barbed wired fence surrounding the site. Pain incomprehensible.
A massive reconstuction project is already underway.Days passed swiftly with meetings, and what looks to become potential future good business, and included a very interesting Venture Council meeting held by the New York Software Industry Association (NYSIA). Jared Grusd, Senior Corporate Counsel, Google Inc., and Ryan Ziegler, Principal & Investment Manager, Edison Venture Fund, were hosting the discussion. Very interesing to meet everybody there, and maybe more so to realize that even in New York the software industry has a large contingent of SME companies (wannabees) like everywhere else.

well, part of the point of having an ENGLISH blog, is that all people can read and respond (thank god its not that jibrish of yours you call a language :P)
soooo --- get the system to be in English. localization is sweet and all, but if i don't know where to click - i can't respond... (and I've figured it out now only because I'm a genius... one who can't spell or figure out proper grammar, but still)
now: about the post, trip, etc., was a pleasure seeing you. good pictures you've got here and ground zero is, indeed, too much to grasp.
here, what about this as a long comment?
