This Week in the NYC Innovation Community – January 18th

You can get posts like these e-mailed to you once a week on Mondays by going here.

Am I the only one that thinks that perhaps Steve Jobs will be introducing two Apple tablets next week... made of stone...  from a mountain?  Seems like anything less would be a letdown.

Oh, and btw...  big miss on someone not doing a diversity hack-a-thon on Monday.  That would have been awesomesauce.  Next year!
