Here is some good news for New York. Businessweek reports that New York City continues to have the most tech jobs in the nation. Unfortunately, due to the recession overall job growth in the sector fell 2 percent, year-over-year. The computer system design and telecommunications services sectors have been hit especially hard.

The US Open reaches its peak this weekend with the finals on Sunday. Growing up, Johnny Mac was my favorite tennis player. He grew up only a few towns away from me in Queens and practiced at the Port Washington Tennis Academy, which is only a few blocks from where I currently reside.
It is an absolutely gorgeous day here in New York. I doubt that anyone landing on my blog today is interested in reading up about the law. So I present to you, this profile about John McEnroe from the New York Times Magazine from 2008.

On July 4, we celebrate the entrepreneurs who were our founding fathers who made a difference by bringing social change to America. Unlike July 4, there is nothing particularly unique about the date of March 4. On that date back in 2006 final contact was attempted with Pioneer 10 by the Deep Space Network. Unfortunately, no response was received.
NYConvergance recently noted that the New York Tech scene has matured. One sign of its maturity is the bevy of tech events in the New York City area.
What could be better than making March 4, 2010 special by spending the evening celebrating the power of entrepreneurs to change the world. According to the press release:
The event will feature a panel that brings together the nation’s most prominent advocates for both early stage investment and social enterprise. Fred Wilson, founder of Union Square Ventures, is an advocate for early stage investment and the single most read blogger in the venture capital community. Jacqueline Novogratz is the founder of the Acumen Fund, a global nonprofit venture philanthropy fund that hat uses entrepreneurial approaches to solve the problems of global poverty. They are joined by Roger Ehrenberg, founder of IA Venture Strategies and one of the most active angel investors in New York and Jacob Gray, partner at Murex Investments. The panel will be moderated by Scott Edward Anderson, founder of the greenskeptic.com and a frequent commentator on the FOx Business Netowrk. This rare combination of finance and philanthropy leadership reflects GoodCompany Ventures’ unique mission to help social entrepreneurs develop scalable, for-profit businesses to address unmet social needs.
