Happy people spend a lot of time socializing, going to church and reading newspapers — but they don’t spend a lot of time watching television, a new study finds.

At a glance, one may pass this off as just another photo of somewhere in Times Square during the 80s. To get the full effect, you will have to see this in person as it’s actually a minature model that’s no bigger than say a couple shoeboxes stacked together. The artist, Alan Wolfson, creates incredibly detailed dioramas of urban scenes, and you can catch him and his work this coming Saturday (Nov 22) at the OK Harris gallery in Soho, NYC. It’s a small example of incredible attention to detail. »

I demo’d Co-op last night at the monthly NY Tech Meetup. Aside from being able to tell people about our latest baby, it’s always great to meet all the people in NY who are also working on various interesting projects. Here are a few noteworthy NYC startups we shared the stage with last night that you should get to know:
FreshmanFund – an easy way to start saving for your kid’s college fund (and allows gifting of college funds so you don’t need to give that new parent another baby blanket they already have).
Glue – an interesting way to discover what your network of friends like and consume in music, books, movies, etc. without the confines of any one social network.
Cookstr – not just another recipe site, this one will feature recipes from some of the best know cook book authors and chefs in the industry.
Wee Web – a private way for parents to document and share updates about their kids (founded by former Meetup.com co-founders).
MixedInk – a document collaboration tool that seems great for groups.
Without a doubt, New York City has become home to more and more design and technology companies through the years, and despite all that is going on right now in the macroeconomics picture, a visit to a full-capacity NY Tech Meetup offers a glimpse into the city’s interest and passion for design, web, and technology.

If you've not heard, the Obama-Biden Transition Project have just launched this site to communicate with the technically inclined. »
Interesting: The Democratic party is represented by something akin to the Lone Star. The Republicans lay claim to the American bald eagle. The working families symbol looks more some sort of WiFi logo. Do these visual icons affect the severely undecided? »
